Do not lose data during serialization after parsing

For repeating choices, on sequences that the order might change you can use compound fields

Hi @sedrew can you post the whole excerpt please, from only that output I don't see what's the different both xml outputs are equivalent.

I'm trying to overwrite slide from powerpoint. I did some additional research and found out that the namespace problem is not related to a powerpoint reading error. I found out that the Wildcard order does not match the original file. Because of this, powerpoint cannot read this xml.

after_parser.txt
after_power_point.txt

Not a problem for reading powerpoint:

How do I save index positions in XmlVar for elements during parsing?

For example, one Sp element in xml may be located at the beginning, the other at the end of the root

@dataclass
class SpTree:
    class Meta:
        name = "spTree"
        namespace = (
            "http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/presentationml/2006/main"
        )

    nv_grp_sp_pr: Optional[NvGrpSpPr] = field(
        default=None,
        metadata={
            "name": "nvGrpSpPr",
            "type": "Element",
            "required": True,
        },
    )
    grp_sp_pr: Optional[GrpSpPr] = field(
        default=None,
        metadata={
            "name": "grpSpPr",
            "type": "Element",
            "required": True,
        },
    )
    sp: List[Sp] = field(
        default_factory=list,
        metadata={
            "type": "Element",
            "min_occurs": 1,
        },
    )

    any_elements: List[object] = field(
        default_factory=list,
        metadata={
            "type": "Wildcard",
            "namespace": "##any"
        }
    )

Thanks, It helped me.

    shapes: List[Union[NvGrpSpPr, GrpSpPr, Sp]] = field(
        metadata={
            "type": "Elements",
            "choices": (
                {"wildcard": True, "type": object},
                {"name": "sp", "type": Sp},
                {"name": "grpSpPr", "type": GrpSpPr},
                {"name": "nvGrpSpPr", "type": NvGrpSpPr}
            )
        }
    )
