New Data Connection with incoming XSLT. Should DataView show the structure?

Question

When I Create New Data Connection with an XML file and an incoming XSLT transformation, the Data View doesn't show the resulting structure..just the original XML file structure. This makes it hard to bind xml elements in the transformation to a PDF form. It the XSLT only applied at "runtime"? If so, how to map elements? Thanks.

Answer 1

I would suggest to create a receive data connection(secondary) to get data from your checklist
Use this data connection to connect to your checklist and get all the fields that are required.
Create a button in your form and add rules to assign and submit data to the list, after user clicks the button
Add a rule to set values to source list with fields from Receive Data connection
Submit the data to the list
Close the form
Hope this helps!

Yes!  This is fantastic, I'll try this.  Quick question, would it be possible to send the data to a different list rather than the source?  
My reasoning is this:  The secondary data connection list is intended to be sort of a blank slate, where the actual project requirements are listed and can be modified or edited as needed.  I'd like to keep that as the constant starting point.
 So could I possibly have the form submit the actual data to a separate list to maintain that?
