I've got some xslt that used to do the following :

but I realised I need it to be conditional on an attribute of one of
the parent nodes, so I ended up splitting it up into 3 lines instead :
<xsl:for-each select="ExportEntries">
<xsl:if test="../Restore/@state = 'True'">
<xsl:for-each select="ExportEntry/Field">
This works as I want, but to me it doesn't seem to be the best way.
Is there a better way to do that kind of check? I want to restrict
it to the "ExportEntries" node first, as there are only a limited
number of times that that node will exist, and the "Restore state"
node is often there for other things, so I think I'm being more
efficient doing it this way. Am I doing this right?
You use a predicate to achieve this:
<xsl:for-each select="ExportEntries[../Restore/@state='True']/
ExportEntry/Field">
...
</xsl:for-each>
I hope this helps.
