Changing a tag into a variable-containing-one replaces it with the value at run time

What version of OpenRewrite are you using?

I am using

• OpenRewrite master branch

How are you running OpenRewrite?

mvn rewrite:run

What is the smallest, simplest way to reproduce the problem?

  - org.openrewrite.xml.AddOrUpdateChildTag:
      parentXPath: //dependency[groupId="com.example.ws4"]
      newChildTag: "<groupId>${some.variable}</groupId>"

What did you expect to see?

That the groupId would be replaced by ${some.variable}.

What did you see instead?

That the groupId was replaced by com.example.ws4.

FYI, this works though:

  - org.openrewrite.xml.ChangeTagValue:
      elementName: //dependency/groupId
      oldValue: "^com\\.example\\.ws.$"
      newValue: "\\$\\{some.variable}"
      regex: true
