Hi Jimmy,

I think everyone has found XForms a bit of a journey,
and an interesting one.

I think what you are seeing is the XPath context, which can be
set by <group ref="..."> and is set to the current item of the
select within a repeat.

To reference data outside this context, you must use the full
XML path to the data, which often must include the particular
instance:

<output ref="instance('some-other-inst')/node"/>
