I expect that when a XML datasource containing a couple of tag like:
Quote:
<row1>First line</row1>
<row2>Second line</row2>

and displayed in a Title Input to display
Quote:
First Line
Second Line


is updated to:
Quote:
<row1></row1>
<row2></row2>

The Title Input should display nothing.

What instead happens is that the preview in the Data Sources Manager is emptied, and what the Title Input displays is unaffected (the two rows are still there).

For RSS data sources empty elements (tags) behave as expected, that is clears the corresponding fields in the Title Input.

Am I missing some intented use for XML in particular, or is there a bug running loose?

Thanks.

if a title input is replaced with nothing it will keep showing the previous content so you have to "fill" it with something (a space is a something)

seems to be working fine here though

Thanks (again) doggy!

You helped me look into how I have organized my XML file. Turned out to be bad.
I'm a noob and still don't get the hang of XPath, but I'm working on it...

Learned too that an empty tag can also be <tag />
