title: How to get Property Transfer in SoapUI testcase to work?
body: <p>I'm trying to transfer a value from the response of one WS call to the request of another using SoapUI's Transfer Property TestStep.</p>
  
  <p>First WS response:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"&gt;
    &lt;soapenv:Header/&gt;
    &lt;soapenv:Body&gt;
      &lt;ns5:PSResponse xmlns:ns5="http://www.ab.com/abonline/service/PaymentService/1.0/" xmlns:ns6="http://www.ab.com/abonline/service/CustomerCard/1.0/" xmlns:ns7="https://secure.incab.se/DTServerModuleService/v1"&gt;
        &lt;ns5:abTransactionReference&gt;1085-0&lt;/ns5:abTransactionReference&gt;
        &lt;ns5:status&gt;0&lt;/ns5:status&gt;
      &lt;/ns5:PSResponse&gt;
    &lt;/soapenv:Body&gt;
  &lt;/soapenv:Envelope&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Parsing the property works fine using an expression like:<br>
  <code>declare namespace ns5="http://www.ab.com/abnline/service/PaymentService/1.0/"
  //ns5:abTransactionReference</code></p>
  
  <p>The next request:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns="http://www.ab.com/abonline/service/PaymentService/1.0/"&gt;
    &lt;soapenv:Header/&gt;
    &lt;soapenv:Body&gt;
      &lt;UpdatePaymentRequest&gt;
        &lt;abTransactionReference&gt;30&lt;/abTransactionReference&gt;
  ... ...
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I try inserting the property into the next request using:<br>
  <code>//abTransactionReference</code></p>
  
  <p>Gives me: <code>[Missing match for Target XPath [//abTransactionReference]]</code></p>
  
  <p>I also tried a full xpath:<br>
  <code>declare namespace soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
  //soapenv:Envelope/soapenv:Body/UpdatePaymentRequest/abTransactionReference</code></p>
  
  <p>...resulting in similar error.</p>
