Inserting attributes from one instance to another

I've been using the firefox extntion for a while and you used to be able to insert attributes from one instance to another using the following syntax:
<xforms:trigger appearance="minimal" ref="self::node()[not(@type)]">
    <xforms:label>Add type</xforms:label>
     <xforms:insert ev:event="DOMActivate" context="instance('metadata')//mods:mods/ mods:titleInfo[index('titleInfo')]"
           origin="instance('template')/mods:titleInfo/@type"/>
</xforms:trigger>

This does not appear to work anymore, is my syntax wrong, or is this no longer supported?

Thanks.

Do you have an extra blank in your context xpath or is that just a cut&paste issue? Charlie Wiecha

Sorry, that is just a cut and past issue. This code works in Orbeon, and I believe it used to work with the firefox extension, but I'm not sure when it stopped working.

It seems like a bug in our code. At least I could recreate your issue
with a testcase that I think is valid (fails in our code, works in
Orbeon). I opened a bug on it ->

Hi Winona,

FWIW, in answer to the question "is this supported", your syntax does follow the pattern described in appendix B.4:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xforms11/#data-mutation-patterns-set-attribute
