Static text not cloning on XML import = fail

$
0
0

I cannot get my static text to clone when I import my XML. I can make it work on a small test like this:

City: Madison

State:Wisconsin

So I can get the labels to clone when the XML comes in and I am reasonably sure that my import settings are correct (merge, only match structure, no white space)

 

In my real-world project, there are more elements, nesting, and some static text that is in-line like these labels.

My XML elements actually come in OK and I can clean them up, but my static text is ALWAYS removed. The static items include a pipe between elements, commas after street, city, and inline labels.

 

I'm going to try to put in some screen shots that show the placeholder version and what happens after import.

If I can't get the static text to clone, I'm going to have to do a million GREP changes to put the static stuff in, and would have to reproduce that every time they send updated data. Boooo!  please help!
