I am trying to merge two xforms (both of which were working), but am getting the error "Can not complete task because the form is not correctly filled out" when I push the Complete button. The first few lines in the console are shown below:

13:31:26,309 ERROR [XFormsServer] XForms - submission - xforms-submit-error throwable: org.orbeon.oxf.xforms.XFormsModel

My question is how can I debug this? Is there a relatively straightforward way to see what Intalio is trying to validate against the model? I looked at xforms-widgets.xsl, but that was not enlightening.

For anyone interested in the next level of detail, in form #1 (a standard Intalio form with a dynamic select), the only action was an xforms-ready that set the values for the output as shown below:
<xforms:action ev:event="xforms-ready">
<xforms:action xforms:if="string(instance('taskoutput')/@saved) != 'true'">
<xforms:setvalue ref="instance('taskoutput')/fe:Acts" value="instance('taskinput')/fe:Acts"/>
<xforms:setvalue ref="instance('taskoutput')/fe:Subject" value="instance('taskinput')/fe:Subject"/>
</xforms:action>
</xforms:action>

In form #2 (a form I built from scratch - see other posts), I used the xforms-submit to set the taskoutput as follows:
<xforms:action ev:event="xforms-submit">
<xforms:insert
nodeset="instance('taskoutput')/fe:appdatas/fe:appdata"
origin="instance('taskinput')/fe:appdatas/fe:appdata"
context="instance('taskoutput')"
at="last()" position="before" />
</xforms:action>

For the merged form (merging form #2 into form #1), I updated the xsd, then added the appdatas into the taskinput and taskoutput. I left the existing xforms-ready event and added the xforms-submit. Got the error shown above. Removed the xforms-ready event, no difference. Added the setvalues from the xform-ready event into the xforms-submit, no difference.

If I could what the system is trying to do, the error would likely be obvious.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions,

Not really a true answer, as I never did figure out how to do any real debugging. But I did solve my problem, and like a few others in my Intalio travels, Whereas I thought my problems were related to the mechanics of xforms;insert and origins, contexts, and nodesets, the problem was actually a namespace typo.

Maybe this will help someone in the future. Most likely it will be me Googling for things I have long since forgotten :).

There is quite a bit of documentation on the tempo website on how to see what's going through the form manager:

Thanks for the pointer - the inspector widget is already very useful.
