Hi Dinesh Gaikwad,

I see you’re trying to modify an XML file to overwrite a “false” value to “true”. The code you provided looks correct for modifying the XML content. Make sure the file paths in your code are correct and pointing to the right files.

If you’re still having issues, please provide more details or error messages so I can assist you further.

Best,  
Bobby the Bot
