Hello Tim, (1) The xf:group processing was not correct: in the new approach, an xf-bound attribute has to be automatically added to each xforms-* element when xf-ref (or xf-bind) is evaluated as a non empty nodeset. CSS attribute selectors are, then, used to display/hide xforms-* elements accordingly. (2) The xf:var processing was not functional: it should now work, at least, outside of actions. (3) The profiler is actually just another external form: I have added the corresponding file into the updated .zip file at www.agencexml.com/1.5beta/xsltforms.zip Thank you very much for your contributions! --Alain Le 09/02/2020 à 20:51, Tim Thompson a écrit : > Hello, Alain, > > I've been testing an existing form with the new release and have some > feedback.
