generating request

I have a question.
Part of my request structure looks like this:
<InstanceData>
            <RiskList>
              <Risk id="one">
                  </Risk>
               <Risk id="two">
                 </Risk>
               <Risk id="three">
               </Risk>
            </RiskList>
           </InstanceData>

Every risk has a lot of attributes (around 200 lines).
In .xls I have an array of combinations of these risks where a line is a combination of true and false values for a specific risk.
How can I build an automatic test case for this (existing of all risk node depends on its value from .xls file)?

    I have a structure with attributes and their values for every risk.
    I want to use it depending on value for risk in .xls file.
    It's not only value but very large structure.
    for example:
    in xls true true true
    req:
    <InstanceData>
                <RiskList>
                  <Risk id="one">
                      </Risk>
                   <Risk id="two">
                     </Risk>
                   <Risk id="three">
                   </Risk>
                </RiskList>
               </InstanceData>

    in xls true false false
    <InstanceData>
                <RiskList>
                  <Risk id="one">
                      </Risk>
                 
                </RiskList>
               </InstanceData>

    in xls true false true
    <InstanceData>
                <RiskList>
                  <Risk id="one">
                      </Risk>
                   <Risk id="three">
                   </Risk>
                </RiskList>
               </InstanceData>


    If it is only value, it's not a problem with get data.
    What if it is structure with thousands of lines nested tags in tags in tags in tags...

    Hi,

    ok - then I would suggest to create a Script TestStep after the DataSource that dynamically builds the entire RiskList element and writes it to a TestCase property which is then inserted into the request using a PropertyTransfer.

    Does that make sense?
