tAdvancedFileOutputXML how to move an attribute' position in XML tree

[Dawn2]

Hello,

I am developing an XML report with 1000 tree attributes. About half of the attributes are loaded from a .xsd file and the other half was customized information and manually added.

I was accidentally deleted an attribute when re-mapping the data. The attribute was in the middle of the element list. I could add the attribute back to the element, but don't find a way to move it to the original location.

Is there a way to move attributes in tAdvancedFileOutputXML, or maybe a way to export the modified XML tree to .xsd then I can re-load?

Manually re-enter the customized information will take humongous time! I am looking for an easier solution for my issue.

Thanks,

Dawn

Hi @Yudong qian​ 

I'm afraid that's not possible from the graphical interface.

You could try to overcome this by editing the source .item file inside your workspace, but be careful and make a backup of it first.

😒 Thank you, I will try.

It works after updating the order value in .item file, like <elementValue elementRef="ORDER" value="470"/>. However, I have to manually update the downstream order numbers, 470, 471, 472... but it still saved me lots of time!

Thank you, @Anselmo Peixoto​!
