xforms: how to prevent xxforms:default value from over-writing user input
- by Purni
I have a dropdown to display status, which can be Enabled(true) or Disabled(false). Here is my xml instance.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<page>
<file-name></file-name>
<status></status>
</page>
By default, status should be true. So I have set it in binding as follows.
<xforms:bind nodeset="./status" xxforms:default="true()" />
When user chooses Disabled in the dropdown, the status should get saved as false. Here is the xml that gets saved when I save the form.
<page>
<file-name>StatusDisabled.xml</file-name>
<status>false</false>
</page>
When I open the form in edit mode, this is the xml I get in the XML inspector widget.
<page>
<file-name>StatusDisabled.xml</file-name>
<status>true></status>
</page>
Status gets set to true because of xxforms:default, even though the xml is saved with a false value for status.
How can I fix this?
Here is the xhtml:

<xforms:bind nodeset="./status" xxforms:default="true()" />
</xforms:bind>
</xforms:model>

<xforms:input ref="instance('instance')/name" incremental="true">

<xforms:itemset nodeset="instance('status-instance')/item">
<xforms:label ref="./@label"/>
<xforms:value ref="./@value"/>
</xforms:itemset>
</xforms:select1>
</p>
</body>
