How can I insert a full path for the 'stuff'  argument? A full path like :
"(instance('yy-instance')/@overallAttr"
I can't seem to get the right combination.
    

I don't quite get what you would like to do. What do you mean by
inserting the "full path"? What is "stuff"? (a literal string?) What
is you want to insert? (an XPath expression?)

Alex, confused ;)

Alex,
Thanks for the reply! Sorry to confuse! :-(
I'm trying to mimic a Java app with xforms which is looking promising
but it is also challenging.
Here is my original e-mail plus additional comments:
================
Given the following which works ok:
 <xforms:setvalue ref="instance('xx-instance')/@someAttr"
value="if(instance('flags-instance')/@overallAttr ='null') then 'stuff'
else."/>
The above works fine. The only thing I need to do is to replace "stuff"
with a _*full instance path*_ that has a text string value _*in it*_ and
put that value into ref="instance('xx-instance')/@someAttr".
In other words the setvalue command should look somthing like:

/ <xforms:setvalue ref="instance('xx-instance')/@someAttr"
value="if(instance('flags-instance')/@overallAttr ='null') then
*'"(instance('yy-instance')/@overallAttr"' *else."/>/

I couldn't get the syntax correct. Maybe this type thing is not allowed???
So, how can I insert a _*full instance path*_ for the 'stuff'  text
string argument? A full path like :
*"(instance('yy-instance')/@overallAttr"*
Again, I can't seem to get the right syntax combination.
====================
Thanks for the help and hope this is more clear!  :-\
