Scripting Fields as Buttons

Featured Replies

I am trying in FMP7 to turn a set of global fields into buttons. I want to set the active field in each case to be the button field being clicked so that I can retrieve its contents for layout navigation purposes. Is this possible?

After a bit of experimentation I found the following solution

Example: to use the contents of a field or a related field in a layout to navigate to a new layout

Convert the field to a button

Set the Button to run a script containing "Got to layout()

Specify "Layout Name by calculation"

Include Get(ScriptParameter) and any other required text in the calculation

Set the Field Name (and table/relationship) as the Optional Script Parameter

It works a treat
