Hello,

Is there a way to get the proper xml output of the repeating section inside the repeating section? I have a repeating section inside a repeating section but when I checked the xml output it does not show right format as the parent repeating section.

Hi ​@aorellano,

The nested XML looks like it does because the XML standard does not allow for some of the special characters to be used within XML, so those characters are encoded.
To decode, you first extract the nested repeating section node and then use a build string action with the fn-XmlDecode function to decode the XML.
