Hi Roger, There is a "Type alternative strategy" setting in the "Options" tab. But I'm not sure if it helps or not. If you send us (support@oxygenxml.com) a small  sample XML Schema and some details maybe we can consider this for a future version.

Hi Folks,

I really, really like the tool that generates sample XML files from an XML Schema.

But, ......................

It has a problem ..................

I have an element that is declared to have a type that is a complexType and the complexType is abstract. There are multiple concrete subtypes of the abstract complexType.

When the Oxygen tool gets to the element, it realizes that its type is an abstract complexType, so it randomly (?) picks one of the subtypes. And it almost always picks the wrong subtype.

So the generated XML instance document is wrong ....................

Is there a way to tell the Oxygen tool, "Hey, when you encounter this element, with this parent, then use this subtype"?
