I have a problem populating dropdown list with xml file. I have
created xml file for states and want to populate. I would like to have
display value to be full state name and value to be short state name

I have xml file like this
<?xml version='1.0' ?>
<States>
<State Value="TX">Texas></State>
</States>

When I add this file into IP, and try to populate dropdown by pointing
this secondary data connection and then clicking on entries, it shows
States > State > Value

Here State is repeating group. when I click ok on State, it populates
Value and Display name as @Value I cannot change anything. so in both
the fields it will come as TX instead of Texas.

Thanks

You should be able to hit the button next to the display name field and
select the State node itself to get the text of the State element.
