    Instead, you could replace the whole request instead of editing the nodes.

    May be store the exact request xmls into file per test and specify those file names in your excel data.
    While processing the datasource, read column value which is xml request file name, read that file and replace the request - which is more simple than what you are trying to do.

Just a very a high level overview of how I would approach this...

 

You can get the xml data from your SOAP request using the Get Data Dialog from withing your Groovy test step. Then you can then user the XMLParser to convert this XML string data into Groovy objects which can easily be manipulated. Finally you can use the XmlUtil.serialize method to convert you newly manipulated Groovy XML object back to an XML string and then us it to update you SOAP request.
