Importing a Script But Changing Table Names Automatically

[transpower]

I commonly use the same field names and some scripts in different Filemaker files.  If I import a script I have to change the table name for all the fields in the script (although the actual field names are the same), which is a nuisance.  Does anyone have a utility to do this automatically?

I don't think that exists. The problem is actually deeper than that: FileMaker scripts store references to fields using a hidden internal ID. So even when your table/field names match, an imported script will still have mismatched fields.

I don't think it exist either, I kind of think that we would have known about it if did. There are tools such as FM Perception that can help you identify these things, after the fact. However, AFAIK,  it is a manual process. I use this checklist to ease the pain. https://www.geistinteractive.com/checklist-moving-filemaker-code/
