Hiya all,

I've got a problem when using the set field command in FMP that has got me stumped!

When i want to set data to a related field I can do it, but only if i have pauses in it. If i take the pauses out, the system ignores the set field lines of the script...

I've attached the file so you can take a look,

Thanks in advance,

John

In fileB, change your new_record script to:

New Record/Request

Exit Record/Request

This will allow the relationship to be established so that the Set Field steps will work.

might be easier to create records using a portal on a hidden layout

go to layout "portal"

go to field child::id

go to portal row, last

set field child:.id, id

set field child::second field, whatever

...

go to layout, previous

Thank you so much to both of you!! It's working just as it should now, and it makes sense what was wrong...

As always, it's a simple fix eh?

John
