Fixes

The XML > Insert node action now supports node name with a namespace prefix.

Previously, when you specified a namespace prefix in the Node name field, the result document ignored the prefix.

You can create a bot using XML > Insert node action to insert a node in an existing XML file within a loop. You no longer encounter any issues even if multiple nodes have the same name and you use the Skip it option.

Fix
When the input XML file contains comments before and after the root node and if the Remove text nodes that contain only white space ( Start Session action) and Use Prettyprint (Save session data action) check boxes are selected, the output XML file formatting is displayed correctly on bot execution and a new line is added after the comment node.
