RE: inserting instance elements with a trigger

Hi,

Coincidentally, I have just been trying to achieve the same effect. I just created an empty repeat element with an appropriate XPath expression in the nodeset attribute, and refered to that, as per X-Smiles example, in my insert. It worked fine. Seems a bit of a convoluted way of going about things though.

All the best
