Get values form XML using ElementTree-CodePudding

I'm trying to get values from a XML file like this:

It has multiple <Object> </Object> pairs. My code can get the tag but can't get the value inside <Value></Value>

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
xmlfile = 'AS01.xml'

tree = ET.parse(xmlfile)
root = tree.getroot()

lst = tree.findall('Objects/Object/Properties')

for item in lst:
    for prop in item:
        obj_tag = prop.attrib['Tag']
        obj_value = prop.get('Value')
        print(obj_tag, obj_value)

For each <Object> I need the values for Type and Instance:

<Object Type="OBJECT_ANALOG_OUTPUT" Instance="5">

OBJECT_ANALOG_OUTPUT
5

And several values based on Property Id, for example:

<Property Id="PROP_OBJECT_NAME" Tag="BACNET_APPLICATION_TAG_CHARACTER_STRING"><Value>B'JC2415'DUV'Y1</Value>

PROP_OBJECT_NAME
B'JC2415'DUV'Y1

Any suggestion how to solve this problem?

EDIT:

This is how I solved the problem. I's not nice, but works for me:

    OBJECT_NAME=''
    OBJECT_BUS=''
    OBJECT_ADDR=''
    
    str_colon = ':'
    str_apo = '\''
    str_eq = '='

    if str_colon in obj_ident:                      # Separate Identifier and instance number
        cnt = obj_ident.rfind(str_colon)
        cntp = cnt 1
        OBJECT_IDENTIFIER = obj_ident[0:cnt]
        OBJECT_INSTANCE = obj_ident[cntp:]
    if str_apo in obj_name:                         # Separate object path and name
        cnt = obj_name.rfind(str_apo)
        cntp = cnt 1
        OBJECT_PATH = obj_name[0:cnt]
        OBJECT_NAME = obj_name[cntp:]
    if str_eq in obj_addr:                          # Separate address type and the actual addres
        cnt = obj_addr.rfind(str_eq)
        cntp = cnt 1
        OBJECT_BUS = obj_addr[0:cnt]
        OBJECT_ADDR = obj_addr[cntp:]
    print(OBJECT_IDENTIFIER,',',OBJECT_INSTANCE,',',OBJECT_PATH,',',OBJECT_NAME,',',OBJECT_BUS,',',OBJECT_ADDR,',',obj_desc)
    

for obj in tree.findall('Objects/Object'):
    for prop in obj.findall('Properties/Property'):
        obj_id = prop.attrib['Id']

            obj_value = prop.find('Value').text
        elif lst_count == 0:                        # If Value field is missing
            obj_value = ''

        if obj_id == 'PROP_OBJECT_IDENTIFIER':      # Select only the necessary objects
            PROP_OBJECT_IDENTIFIER = obj_value

Not sure I get the question correctly but for the values I would go for:

values = [i.text for i in tree.findall('.//*/Value')]

and for the "Object" properties:

types=[i.get('Type') for i in tree.findall('.//*Object/[@Type]')]
instances=[i.get('Instance') for i in a.findall('.//*Object/[@Instance]')]
