In such cases is better to remove the namespace "xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:xliff:document:2.0"" from the file and then try to fix the rule. Once those are added you can look into adding the Namespace pdns.

Note that for your file the notes element is not parent to the source element so you have to go two levels up.

You can use ancestor::unit for this then you just add the path to the note element, and the end you can add the PDNS as well and end result is:

parent::pdns:unit/descendant::pdns:notes/pdns:note

This seems to work fine on my tests but please validate it for your files.

As for XML tags and options those are implemented using XML XPATH - you can try to search for XPATH parent or ancestor to see more details.

I have tried what I think you are saying, but I am still not seeing anything in Passolo. I will admit I am new to XML and creating these parsing rules. Here is what I changed:

<CXMLAttribute AttributeName="ancestor::unit[attribute::context-type='IGNORE_IT'][text()='YES']" CopyAttributeName="False" AttributeAction="3"/>
<CXMLAttribute AttributeName="ancestor::unit[attribute::context-type='IGNORE_IT'][text()='NO']" CopyAttributeName="False" AttributeAction="4"/>
<CXMLAttribute AttributeName="parent::pdns:unit/descendant::pdns:notes/pdns:note/attribute::applies-to | parent::pdns:unit/descendant::pdns:notes/pdns:note,valueid" CopyAttributeName="False" AttributeAction="0"/>

I am happy to send you the files and talk offline too. 

Thanks for your quick responses.

My mistake, I've copied the wrong rule. The correct one is using ancestor - as you need to jump two levels up - and parent is only one level up.

ancestor::pdns:unit/descendant::pdns:notes/pdns:note

This rule basically select the UNIT ancestor starting from Source element and then selects the NOTES element from it then the NOTE

Can you send me a sample project? I have tried a few different ways and verifed that my changes are be pulled into Passolo, but in the configuration viewer I am still not seeing the fields I want being selected. I think I finally am getting Ancestor/Parent/Decendant, but don't know why it isn't working. I also removed the XMLS from the source file too. So now I have added these three lines:

<CXMLAttribute AttributeName="ancestor::group/notes/note[attribute::context-type='IGNORE_IT'][text()='YES']" CopyAttributeName="False" AttributeAction="3"/>
<CXMLAttribute AttributeName="ancestor::group/notes/note[attribute::context-type='IGNORE_IT'][text()='NO']" CopyAttributeName="False" AttributeAction="4"/>

Don't know if these even need to be there, but they are present in the project that is working.

<CXMLAttribute AttributeName="ancestor*::/descendant::pdns:notes/pdns:note/attribute::appliesto | ancestor*::/descendant::pdns:notes/pdns:note,valueid" CopyAttributeName="False" AttributeAction="0"/>

I changed to ancestor*, but tried with the explicit ancestor::pdns:unit/...

Thanks

Do you input this in the Passolo configuration menu or in the XFG file? I did the settings in the Configuration menu:

And the result seems ok.

If this does not help - please raise a support case with the file, the LPU and the XML rule created (if is not present in the project).
