Cannot see all the columns from an XML File

Hi everybody,

 

I am having a problem while trying to see all the columns from my XML file, I have different objects and the structure of the objects is the following:

 

<specobject>
<id>objectid</id>
<status>objectstatus</status>
<shortdesc>objectshortdesc</shortdesc>
<sourcefile>objectsourcefile</sourcefile>
<sourceline>objectsourceline</sourceline>
<version>objectversion</version>
<description>
objectdescription
</description>
<rationale>objectrationale</rationale>
<verifycrit>
objectverifycrit
</verifycrit>
<tags>
<tag>objecttag</tag>
</tags>
<needscoverage>
<needscov><needsobj>objectneedsobj</needsobj><objcovstatus>objectneedobjobjstatus</objcovstatus><coveredby><linkedfrom><srcid>objectsrcid</srcid><srcstatus/><internalId>objectinternalid</internalId></linkedfrom></coveredby></needscov>
<containerCovstatus>objectcovstatus</containerCovstatus></needscoverage>
<fulfilledby>
<ffbObj>
<ffbId>objectffbid</ffbId>
<ffbType>objectffbtype</ffbType>
<ffbVersion>objectffbversion</ffbVersion>
<ffbLinkstatus>objectffblinkstatus</ffbLinkstatus><ffbLinkerror/><ffbObjcovstatus>objectobjcovstatus</ffbObjcovstatus><internalId>objectinternalid</internalId></ffbObj>
<containerCovstatus>objectcovstatus</containerCovstatus></fulfilledby>
<providescoverage>
<provcov>
<linksto>objectlinksto</linksto>
<dstversion>objectdstversion</dstversion>
<linkstatus>objectlinkstatus</linkstatus><linkdestdoctype>objectlinkdescdoctype</linkdestdoctype><linkerror/><internalId>objectinternalid</internalId></provcov>
</providescoverage>
<violations/><oreqmViolations/><covstatus>objectcovstatus</covstatus><internalId>objectinternalid</internalId></specobject>

 

When I bring the data from this XML I can see only some columns and there are other columns that I cannot see (for example rationale, verifycrit, tags and needscoverage) I have already expanded all the columns, but I cannot see these columns from the start of the data source import.

Do you know what I could do in order to see all these missing columns?

 

Thank you very much in advance.

Hi @v-yanjiang-msft ,

 

Thank you for your answer. I could get the column I was looking for. The problem with my XML was that some objects had more columns than the others, so in order to get all the columns (even though some of them were empty for some objects) what I did was pressing the option Load More before expanding the column.

If you know another solution to get all the columns for all the objects no matter that some of them are empty you can let me know.

 

Thanks again.

Best regards,

José

Hi @Josdash ,

In this similar thread, it's because the XML is improperly formed. Please see if you are in the same situation.
