Hi,

You can do that with something like:

Code: Select all


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">

    <xsl:template match="node() | @*">

        <xsl:copy>

            <xsl:apply-templates select="node() | @*"/>

        </xsl:copy>

    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="Center">

        <xsl:copy>

            <xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>

            <xsl:attribute name="District">45</xsl:attribute> 

            <xsl:apply-templates select="node()"/>

        </xsl:copy>

    </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
