I am trying to setup a node with a MNTP to pick authors that live outside of the root. I am running into issues attempting to make an XPath query get the authorFolder doctype (I am running out of guesses). I only chose the xpath route because it appears that with the fancy dynamic root query I can't actually query nodes outside of my current site. I'd like to use the dynamic root query but I don't think I can with this setup. We are using Umbraco v13 (if that helps). Could anyone help me with the xpath query needed to set the start note to the authorFolder? Please & Ty! 🙂

I think you need a custom query step.

With that you can step out of the root and get a sibling (your authors folder)
