Hi all,

I am trying  to populate below query's LayoutInformation with these dynamic uids (UID_PWODecisionSubMethod,UID_PWODecisionStep) . At example below 0 zero is levelNumber that is also dynamic and the dynamic key uid of UID_PWODecisionStep (wrong key ->5daf8159-130b-4e3b-b4bf-96283c11251c that should be replaced with current db rows key of d293905e-3f43-4a45-bb82-0a9305d39eeb vice and verse) , and <Element Key="5db6f41e-fbe1-47e5-8bad-332a62ce685f" that is also dynamic  and should be replace with UID_PWODecisionSubMethod with "current db rows" uid of a27a1df1-155f-4bba-8cbe-b395252bdbaf. Any help appreciated.

<Layout><Element Key="0|5daf8159-130b-4e3b-b4bf-96283c11251c" Location="554, 82" /><Element Key="5db6f41e-fbe1-47e5-8bad-332a62ce685f" Location="457, 0" /><Element Key="1|0aea2b9b-a9a5-4837-928d-7caaff7c411c" Location="144, 118" /><Element Key="2|63e5a539-7db8-40e3-9a1c-de9aa0a2ed69" Location="337, 295" /><Element Key="3|2fe62040-dc9f-40b8-a374-4147b61cc123" Location="675, 504" /><Element Key="4|badf28ed-e3a6-4a45-a930-c8118f481e34" Location="337, 536" /><Element Key="5|e73c6dc3-ecf7-44c6-8604-62d774c820e0" Location="680, 667" /><Element Key="6|bb2e81d2-a047-4c82-8f9b-8a42963d0351" Location="542, 778" /><Element Key="7|09bd8b32-df7c-4b25-a250-75d6a041ee2a" Location="713, 1063" /><Element Key="8|0d49cf82-9112-40a3-af18-9d5beef87aaa" Location="672, 265" /><Element Key="" Location="495, 362" /></Layout>

what I need per row:

<Layout><Element Key="0|d293905e-3f43-4a45-bb82-0a9305d39eeb" Location="554, 82" /><Element Key="a27a1df1-155f-4bba-8cbe-b395252bdbaf" Location="457, 0" /><Element Key="1|12482af1-a70a-474e-b77d-68346a922e07" Location="144, 118" /><Element Key="2|ce6d5ddf-e09f-431e-9062-0ca0f3aeff08" Location="337, 295" /></Layout>
