How can I datasink all the values of a given parent when they have the same name?

I am currently trying to run a Data Source loop test that will pull multiple child values from one parent value:   Example:  <employeeList> <employeeId>Z62376</employeeId> <employeeId>Z3746...

It works if I know how many employeeIds will be returned, and I create a property for each. I was just hoping there was a way to retreive all the information without creating a property for each column. (See attachment)

 

Also, I tried using a wildcard for the "Column XPaths:" but it would not return any values.

Hey!

I had a similar situation recently and i just created a large number of properties to get around this which is NOT an efficient, rigorous way of doing it. So if anyone knows an approach to handle this in a more rigorous approach i'd be very grateful!

Cheers,
