Soap Request Element Disappears

Dear Support,

I have a strange problem - I have a web service request (below) which works fine - I save it and close the request. When I re-open the request one of the elements in the request is missing - and hence fails validation. I have repeated the issue 3 times. The line that always disappears is:


<urn:SenderParty/>




Thanks in advance,
Armen

    Hi!

    Is this element mandatory in the corresponding schema? If not, the form editor will remove it if left empty.

    regards,

    Hi Ole,

    Thanks for the reply - I believe it is mandatory.

    The thing is other Soap UI users do not get this issue with the same web service request - could it be a setting on my installation causing this - I am running 3.6 32 bit on Win7 64 bit OS.

    Is there any way I can prevent this from happening regardless of it being mandatory?

    Thanks,
    Armen

    Hi,

    hmm.. could you attach the WSDL for this so we can debug why it is being removed?

    Hi
    I can add that we also are facing problem like this.
    Often it happens when we are using the FORM tab.
    It seams that FORM is removing some fileds or move fields around for some services.

    We can't figure out why or when, so it is not reported.

    Hi Ivan,

    The form editor automatically removes empty elements that are not mandatory in the schema, could this be the reason they are being removed? If not (ie you are sure that they are mandatory in the schema) it would be great if you could provide us with your WSDL/XSD so we can try to reproduce and fix..

    regards!

    Same here,

    All Elements are data in my case. All the data with space value are not taken in the XML while they appear on the Form.
    My WebServices does not work since that he need to have those data.
