Hi Taco,
You need to pull out your fields in the "field" template and use
for-each instead of just copy-of. Copy-of is a pretty dumb construct,
when what you need is some control over what you're copying.
Instead, where you've got ;
<xsl:if test="name() = 'field'"> <testing /> </xsl:if>
replace it with an xsl:choose, xsl:when and xsl:otherwise (on the same
test as your original), and when you want to include or overwrite
attributes, add your selection ($fieldCollection/field[
current()/@identity = @identity ]/@*) to the <xsl:for-each
select="@*">. (Or, if you're a bit fancier, just create variables with
your selections and constructs, and copy over "anything" you've found
in a loop :)
Anyways, if you'd also give a sample of your input XML and your
expected result we could help a little better.
