[Xsltforms-support] XForms, data in a repeat from a parallel instance nodeset

[Jason K. <ja...@bi...>]

I have an XForm survey. I'd like to keep the survey questions in a separate
xf:instance of the same model from the xf:instance that collects the
answers. In one instance, a group containing 10 questions. In a second
instance, a group to hold the 10 answers. The second instance will be
submitted.

I've tried using logic like the following:

<xf:output ref="instance('questions')/question[position()]/@text"></xf:output>

but that position() is always returning 1, because the context is of the
questions xf:instance. Using the index('current-repeater') updates all 10
displayed questions to be the question at the index of the most recently
focused repeat iteration.

Is there a way to use a temporary variable in the xpath to accomplish this?

Thanks,

Jason
