Hi again,
Tempore 01:24:08, die 07/29/2005 AD, hinc in xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx scripsit Taco Fleur (@DataBroker) <taco@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>:

Well, in order to test on my system, I used:
<xsl:variable name="fieldCollection" select="document('fieldcollection.xml')/root"/>
You need to change that uri back to the original of course.

Which processor are you using? My code worked with Saxon and AltovaXSLT.

They are lists of attribute's names, attributes that must not be copied.

The 'identity' attribute is already present in your input XML, no need to copy it.
No 'reference' attribute appeared in your desired output, so I thought it should be excluded as well.
After the principal field is found in the variable, the 'name' attribute is copied, but not anymore from referenced fields. Otherwise the ouput would contain: name="bit" instead of name="principalPlace"

It does with me. Up to an arbitrary level.

THis is a part of the ouput:
<field identity="5AB5F3AD-D9DD-713A-D582F669F41CFAA8" required="true" display="Is Principal Place of Business" name="principalPlace" valid="01" type="boolean">
	<option value="0"/>
	<option value="1"/>
</field>

I hope you can make it work this time.

kind regards,
