Need Help with insert trigger

I only want to insert al tags and its children into the instance. There will only ever be one item tag but there can be many al tags. At the moment when I click add location trigger, the text in the insuredname field is deleted. Does anyone know how to fix this? Regards.

Then I guess you just want to insert a <al> element (with its <name>). So you'll need to change the data-template instance for that.

It seems that no one can help me!??

I am now thinking that orbeon forms is not suitable for my needs as it cannot seem to deal with nested models...

Excellent; I am glad this worked for you. The way <xforms:insert> works is not immediately obvious. It is a very powerful construct, and I think it is well worth investing some time to fully grasp all the things you can do with <xforms:insert>.
