Yes, the error is apt because distinct-values() returns strings. I'm
assuming this is because you don't want to process elements of
duplicate string value.
If you use <xsl:for-each-group group-by="." select="........"> then
you will have control at the first element of each value and so your
context will allow the <xsl:apply-templates/>
I hope this helps.

I'm looking for a way to just make a single for-each loop and tried this
<xsl:for-each
select="distinct-values(collection($ditacollectionString)//element())" >
<xsl:apply-templates mode="conditions"/>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:template match="@product | @audience " mode="conditions">
<xsl:value-of select="concat(., ' ')"/>
</xsl:template>
But I get an error on the <xsl:apply-templates mode="conditions"/> indicating
The required item type of the context item is node(), but the
supplied expression {.} has item type xs:anyAtomicType.
I also need to do this with both .dita and .xml files and I'm
planning on making 2 collections, is there a way to do one collection()?
