DataSets.GetXMLNode no null values in list

jochem.k · November 12, 2018, 4:22pm

I am using the lunchbox DataSets.GetXMLNode node to read an xml file. But this node doesnt give null values resulting in different lists size.

Is there another package or another way that does give null values when there is no value in the xml file?

I need to update ie parameter “functie” of an element with typename "599100000314801 with the value “woonfunctie”

so first i used:

but the list don`t have the same length, becuase null values are skipped.
