Hi,
Below is the XML sample and I'm trying to pull first and last child element values using XSLT.
<Records count="1"><Metadata><FieldDefinitions><FieldDefinition id="1566" guid="f1c5f114-d4db-4737-a7ae-56d9f1832b9e" name="Standard Name" alias="Standard_Name" /><FieldDefinition id="1568" guid="34535e5d-2289-4b5d-bd2b-25864b635aa5" name="Standard ID" alias="Standard_ID" /><FieldDefinition id="1569" guid="e393cfb0-840a-4256-be8b-073700ac73be" name="Statement" alias="Control_Std_Statement" /><FieldDefinition id="4474" guid="ea74f9d5-5ea6-4daf-9123-8a1930716b1a" name="Adopt or Not?" alias="Adopt_or_Not" /><FieldDefinition id="67" guid="4ee1b5a4-59d8-4866-a447-47b897be8573" name="Source Name" alias="Source_Name" /><FieldDefinition id="74" guid="d67f344b-bbc9-4f0f-a991-2d7b776430ec" name="Topic Name" alias="Topic_Name" /><FieldDefinition id="83" guid="d12f2e77-4901-49bb-aa96-4d2f7113703a" name="Section Name" alias="Section_Name" /><FieldDefinition id="99" guid="f07b5fae-e065-4488-9284-cb489ce79bf8" name="Sub Section Name" alias="Sub_Section_Name" /></FieldDefinitions></Metadata><LevelCounts><LevelCount id="53" guid="260186b2-dd3d-43d7-8d8c-d8cd986af335" count="1161" /><LevelCount id="6" guid="eed9bc75-e37f-442e-94ab-e0e3ea79f999" count="3717" /><LevelCount id="7" guid="ff28895a-fdd4-4a07-8e01-760448fc2eb6" count="5425" /><LevelCount id="8" guid="5faea532-35d4-4587-9581-30c6859fc7df" count="7521" /><LevelCount id="9" guid="f9a67499-fe43-4249-9170-05fa7fb5b8e7" count="5278" /></LevelCounts><Record contentId="404" levelId="53" levelGuid="260186b2-dd3d-43d7-8d8c-d8cd986af335" moduleId="66" parentId="0"><Record contentId="710339" levelId="6" levelGuid="eed9bc75-e37f-442e-94ab-e0e3ea79f999" moduleId="67" parentId="0"><Record contentId="710344" levelId="7" levelGuid="ff28895a-fdd4-4a07-8e01-760448fc2eb6" moduleId="67" parentId="0"><Record contentId="710376" levelId="8" levelGuid="5faea532-35d4-4587-9581-30c6859fc7df" moduleId="67" parentId="0"><Field id="83" guid="d12f2e77-4901-49bb-aa96-4d2f7113703a" type="1">IS-01: Management Program</Field></Record><Field id="74" guid="d67f344b-bbc9-4f0f-a991-2d7b776430ec" type="1">Information Security</Field></Record><Field id="67" guid="4ee1b5a4-59d8-4866-a447-47b897be8573" type="1">Cloud Security</Field></Record><Record contentId="284359" levelId="6" levelGuid="eed9bc75-e37f-442e-94ab-e0e3ea79f999" moduleId="67" parentId="0"><Record contentId="863" levelId="7" levelGuid="ff28895a-fdd4-4a07-8e01-760448fc2eb6" moduleId="67" parentId="0"><Record contentId="1043" levelId="8" levelGuid="5faea532-35d4-4587-9581-30c6859fc7df" moduleId="67" parentId="0"><Record contentId="1546" levelId="9" levelGuid="f9a67499-fe43-4249-9170-05fa7fb5b8e7" moduleId="67" parentId="0"><Field id="99" guid="f07b5fae-e065-4488-9284-cb489ce79bf8" type="1">(c)(1) Integrity</Field></Record><Field id="83" guid="d12f2e77-4901-49bb-aa96-4d2f7113703a" type="1">Integrity</Field></Record><Field id="74" guid="d67f344b-bbc9-4f0f-a991-2d7b776430ec" type="1">G.

The final output should be like
<Records xmlns="http://www.archer-tech.com/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"><Record><Standard_ID>ATCS-001</Standard_ID><Standard_Name>Information Security</Standard_Name><Control_Std_Statement>Sample text goes here</Control_Std_Statement><Adopt_or_Not>Adopt</Adopt_or_Not><Source_Name>Cloud Security</Source_Name><Section_Name>IS-01: Management Program</Section_Name><Source_Name>HIPAA: Security</Source_Name><Sub_Section_Name>(c)(1) Integrity</Sub_Section_Name></Record></Records>
The xslt I tried building is

Please if someone can help me out. Thank you and wish you a Happy New year.
