I would like to have all hpKeycode using local-name() in the XPath expression. I tried

//*[local-name()='hpKeycode']

but this gives me only the first node which is 189161. This

/*[local-name()='hpKeycode'][2]

also does not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best How To :

You can try with XQuery. In the property transfer step select Use XQuery checkbox as you see in the image below. And use this code:

declare namespace soap='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/';
declare namespace ns1='http://ws.example.com/roma/201907';
<ns1:offer>
{
  for $id in //*[local-name()='hpKeycode'] return string($id)
}
</ns1:offer>

SOAPUI property transfer XQuery

EDIT:

If you want to avoid the use of XQuery, you can add three Transfers on your property transfer, on each one use:

First id (//*[local-name()='hpKeycode'])[1]

Second id (//*[local-name()='hpKeycode'])[2]

Third id (//*[local-name()='hpKeycode'])[3]

SOAPUI property transfer XPath
