Hi Firas,

Using xxf:itemset() is indeed the way to go. You can find more about it on:

http://doc.orbeon.com/xforms/xpath/extension-controls.html#xxfitemset

If this doesn't help, can you tell us exactly what is the XPath expression you used and that doesn't work for you?

Hi Firas,

The XPath expression isn't using xxf:itemset(), which would explain why it isn't working. But I thought you were telling is that using xxf:itemset() didn't work for you; did I misunderstand your message?

Re: how recover the label name of dropdown in orbeon

Hi Alessandro

in fact I want to display the label of the current dropdown. before it shows me the value but after writing " $ form -resources / control- 2 / item / label " on the setting- control > Calculated value , it just shows me the first label. So I want to know the instruction to display the current label .

Hi Firas,

Assuming the name of your dropdown control, as set in Form Builder, is my-dropdown, then you can get the label for the currently selected value with:

xxf:itemset('my-dropdown-control', 'xml', true())/itemset/choices/item[@selected = 'true']/label

You'll let us know if this helps,

Alex
