xforms:copy error message

Hi,

I am having problems trying to use <xforms:copy> in an <xforms:itemset>.
As I understand it <xforms:copy> should be interchangable with
<xforms:value> but when I try changing
<xforms:value ref="accessvalue"/> to <xforms:copy ref="accessvalue"/> in
the form below Orbeon gives me an error message "xforms:itemset element
must contain one xforms:value or one xforms:copy element". Am I doing
something wrong?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:xforms="http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms">
<head>
<title>Itemset Test</title>

<xforms:model>

<xforms:instance id="form-data">
<user_selection xmlns=""/>
</xforms:instance>

<xforms:instance id="accessibility-instance">
<accessibility xmlns="">
<accesstype>
<accessterm>Example1</accessterm>

<accessvalue>Example3</accessvalue>
</accesstype>
</accessibility>
</xforms:instance>

<xforms:bind id="user_selection" nodeset="/user_selection"/>

</xforms:model>

</head>
<body>

<xforms:group>

<xforms:select bind="user_selection">
<xforms:label>Select one or more:</xforms:label>
<xforms:itemset
nodeset="instance('accessibility-instance')/accesstype">
<xforms:label>
<xforms:output value="accessterm"/>
</xforms:label>
<xforms:copy ref="accessvalue"/>
</xforms:itemset>
</xforms:select>

</xforms:group>

</body>

Unfortunately, yes: Orbeon Forms does not yet support xforms:copy:

http://forge.objectweb.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=305615&group_id=168&atid=350207

We know, we know...

As a workaround, you should be able to build something similar with
xforms:insert, but it's going to be a little more involved.

Thanks Erik. Sorry to raise it again, I did try searching the archives
but I didn't see the entry you refer to. At least I know not to spend
any more time trying to get my form to work with xforms:copy - I will
see what I can do with xforms:insert instead.

Cheers
