Is it necessary for a global field to be present in a layout for it to function? I thought global fields can still store a value even if they are not present in the layout. But when I deleted the global fields from the layout, my script wouldn't work properly anymore. My intention was to hide the global field. Can somebody enlighten me on this?

Thanx,

Some types of script steps, like copy/paste, or insert calculated result, require that the field be on the current layout. Try using set field () instead, which doesn't require this.

Oh I see.. Thanks, I did use a copy and paste script step in getting a value from a portal row.
