  • 1.  Datalinq XML for User Input List

    Posted 10-23-2023 15:13

    Maybe a dumb question, but is there a way to extract specific nodes (e.g. Contests\Contest\Choices\Choice\Name) from an XML and display them as a user-selectable list from the sequencer? I know this is possible with an excel sheet, just not sure how to pull it off with an XML.

    Only cell based data sources can populate the User Input Control list. This is probably always going to be a limitation for User Input Controls.

    If it helps I was in a similar situation I found that chatGPT is good at making tables if you explain what you want and you can tell it to format it how XPression likes it delimited and import it straight in.

    Thank you both. I'm using BLADE to generate the XML, and there's a CSV format option that I can use to build the table, it just won't update dynamically with incoming data like the XML will (at least as far as I can figure).
