Do you get the message: "Can only cut/copy text() nodes and attribute values to properties" ?
You can only do this since you can't store an XML structure in a property. I suspect you just want the name attribute value, in which case you can copy and provide attrValue="true" to grab the attribute value. Does that sound correct ?
