@thirumaladevis I have updated your word template with the correct field names - both dob and address were actually referencing the name field as I suspected. Please see the attached screenshots to see where the changes were made.

@christopherb225
I have checked that is correct only.
«${doc.project.name}»
«${doc.project.dob}»
«${doc.project.address}»

Is there any other way for template?

@thirumaladevis Make sure in ${doc.project.dob} and ${doc.project.address} that the actual field names are correct. In your template, right click on them and choose "Edit Field", it probably got copied as ${doc.project.name} for all fields.

@christopherb225

I changed the name and other attributes, now it is just printing the first value in 3 fields.
Like if I gave name as "abc" in my interface then for "dob" and "address" also "abc" is printing in the newly generated document. But in process variables it is showing the 3 different values.

@thirumaladevis,

I think the field names and the xml elements are case sensitive. I just tested with the attached sail and attached word template.. I get an error when changing the case of any of the xml elements but works fine when they are the same. If the field is ${doc.project.name} make sure the xml element is <name> not <Name>.

@ christopherb225, the output is <Project><Name></Name><Dob></Dob><Address></Address></Project>
just giving the format.

@thirumaladevis, can you post the XML string that's returned from the expression rule? That error might indicate a mapping between an xml element and a merge field name don't match

Hi..You need to create a expression rule which will basically return you desired dynamic data in xml format. Create a docx template and code your input field accordingly. for please once refer shared component Advanced Document Templating
forum.appian.com/.../summary

let me know if you face any issue after that.

Thanks @christopherb225
But it is throwing a error message while running the process model but the process is completed.

I would create an expression rule and pass in the project cdt pv!project. The rule would look something like:

="<Project>"&
"<Name>"&ri!project.name&"</Name>"&
"<Dob>"&ri!project.dob&"</Dob>"&
"<Address>"&ri!project.address"&"</Address>"&
"</Project>"

Your word template looks correct.
