Execute an XQuery updating script.

Note: this feature is experimental and subject to change.

Example

{
    "replace-a-note": {
        "label": "Replace a note with a warning note, using XQUF!",
        "steps": [
            {
                "type": "operation/execute-update-script",
                "data": {
                    "expression":
                    "replace node $data('contextNode') with <note type=\"warning\">{$data('contextNode')/node()}</note>",
                    "contextNodeId": "x__fonto:selection-common-ancestor()/ancestor-or-self::note[1]"
                }
            }
        ]
    }
}

Note: for each property in "data" which ends with (N|n)odeId, the actual node is retrieved and available in the query with the key without the Id postfix.

The following updating expressions are supported, note that functions can also be updating

• insert node(s)

• delete node

• replace node

• replace value of node

• rename node

• copy modify

You can try out the updating expression on the fontoxpath playground.

You can set selection in the updating expression by using selection PIs.
