What is "Expand node children"?

[d-aizawa]

Hi.

I Created Data Source to XML import Incident records from a remote instance.

And I am successful import.

But, I don't understand "Expand node children"?

It seems like TRUE or FALSE is fine for now, but what impact does this field have on importing?

Thank you !

Reference - Data source fields

Expand node children

Selected if child elements of the XML node or JSON object should be converted into additional columns. Unselected if the parent column value should be an XML or JSON fragment. For JSON, note that selecting this option expands objects only, not arrays. For nested array support, see Importing JSON files.

Does that mean that importing by XML file is not relevant for the above?

It is relevant if you want to convert child XML nodes into additional columns
