    Thanks Paul, have found the solution, have to consider namespace in the xpath, this one worked:

     

    //*:Block16DetailElectricity/*:TotalEnergyEssentTable/*:TableLine[@tableLineDescription = 'Verkoopprijs - dag']/@amountExclVAT

The xpath match assertion works correctly in version 5.3.0 with

//Block16DetailElectricity/TotalEnergyEssentTable/TableLine[@tableLineDescription='Dag1']/@amountExclVAT

The result is 49.50.

 

Are you using xpath match assertion or script assertion?

Also, using this xpath gives a null result.

    Is @tableLineDescription='Verkoopprijs - dag' the correct attribute in the source property XML?

    The XML example above is different with @tableLineDescription='Dag1'

     

    If the attribute matches the xpath selection then the property transfer should work.
