    <p>am trying to flatten an XML element based on a child element name using XSLT 1.0</p> <p>The source XML:</p> <pre><code>&lt;Contact&gt; &lt;ContactPurpose&gt; &lt;PurposeAsPlainText xmlns="cds_dt"&gt;Call&lt;/PurposeAsPlainText&gt; &lt;/ContactPurpose&gt; &lt;ContactPurpose&gt; &lt;PurposeAsEnum xmlns="cds_dt"&gt;Call&lt;/PurposeAsEnum&gt; &lt;/ContactPurpose&gt; &lt;/Contact&gt; </code></pre> <p>Should be transformed into the following XML:</p> <pre><code>&lt;Contact&gt; &lt;ContactPurpose&gt;O&lt;/ContactPurpose&gt; &lt;ContactPurpose&gt;Call&lt;/ContactPurpose&gt; &lt;/Contact&gt; </code></pre> <p>The Logic is:</p> <p>IF the child element name is “PurposeAsPlainText “ THEN set “O” for Other in destination</p> <p>ELSEIF the child element name is “PurposeAsEnum” THEN copy the source value to destination</p> <p><strong>EDIT 1</strong>: I could be more clear as none of the solutions flattened the xml, please see revised source and dest XML.</p> <p><strong>EDIT 2</strong>: Here is the XML I was testing against. The two tranform solutions below actually do work on my original xml but not the revised xml that I was testing using .NET 4.0 XslCompiledTransform. Or should I make a new question?</p> <pre><code>&lt;MyDS xmlns="cds" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"&gt; &lt;PatientRecord&gt; &lt;Demographics&gt; &lt;Contact&gt; &lt;ContactPurpose&gt; &lt;PurposeAsPlainText xmlns="cds_dt"&gt;Call&lt;/PurposeAsPlainText&gt; &lt;/ContactPurpose&gt; &lt;ContactPurpose&gt; &lt;PurposeAsEnum xmlns="cds_dt"&gt;Call&lt;/PurposeAsEnum&gt; &lt;/ContactPurpose&gt; &lt;/Contact&gt; &lt;/Demographics&gt; &lt;/PatientRecord&gt; &lt;/MyDS&gt; </code></pre>

    1. COIt would be helpful if you give example input and output for the case where the child element is "PurposeAsEnum".

    2. COPlease see revised source and dest XML. All the solutions output the same XML but forgot to flatten and remove the child element name. The xml solution result in this comment is not the same as my desired ouput above. <ContactPurpose> <PurposeAsPlainText xmlns="cds_dt">Call</PurposeAsPlainText> </ContactPurpose>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
