This is not the way to construct XPath in Mendix, from the reference guide found at https://world.mendix.com/display/refguide4/XPath :

"Note

In the Modeler you do not write complete queries but only the constraints. The entity is implicitly determined by the context. So, instead of //Sales.Customer[Name='Jansen'] you only write [Name='Jansen'] in the context of a customer. In Java you do write whole queries including the double slashes and the entity name."
