what's an annual event? FM updates? Not anymore.

I’d imagine that such an old version would have issues. Upgrade? https://support.claris.com/s/article/FileMaker-Go-operating-system-requirements-all-versions-1503692982677?language=en_US

Another option is to use popover. Tool tips time out. With popovers, you have much more control.

What about using the barcode creator?

Did you convert the file? https://fmhelp.filemaker.com/help/16/fmp/en/index.html#page/FMP_Help%2Fconversion.html%23wwconnect_header

What is the deal with calling this “dead bird?”

So, are you on android ? Why not use fmgo?

Demise of FileMaker go?

iirc, this was an old bug. The scripts don't show.

We have a dedicated file that is used for transactional create/read/edit and delete. It all happens in a window the user never sees. You can explore it in our framework, Karbon. https://www.geistinteractive.com/products/karbon-filemaker-application-framework/ There’s a lot there to absorb, but I suggest you focus on the kontroller file. You’ll see its RG is very simple. It allows for you to escape any ui concerns and focus on business rules.

You could do a trigger OnObjectSave. The script would use this custom function https://www.briandunning.com/cf/360 and show a dialog. You could just use this part of the CF: Left ( yourEmailField ; Position ( yourEmailField ; "@" ; 1; 1 ) - 1 ) ; Or, you could really go for it and use SendGrid's API to validate the email is real. https://sendgrid.com/docs/api-reference/ Email Address Validation.

You may refactor to avoid this by using the magic key technique or transactional scripting using a transactions table in a card window to create the record.

You could have this wizard capture input in global fields, so there is no record to delete if abandoned. Only upon a click on whatever is the last step would the records be created.

You can do nested transactions. We have a framework here: https://github.com/karbonfm/karbonfm
