Usage
This activity is used to create a single XML element below an existing element, as a nested activity within a CreateXMLScope activity. It is a nestable activity, which means it can host a sub activity that will be processed. The hosted activities are typically of type CreateXMLElement again, or CreateXMLAttribute activities, either as direct children or wrapped into other activities like ForEach or Sequence.
 | This activity provides the created XML element automatically to all XML sub activities, so the XML hierarchy will be built in the very way sub activities are nested! |
Example
The create XML Element activity, as used in the larger example "Export and send MetaClasses":
