(This is related to my previous post on trying to fire a script upon entering a field) This was my new idea to solve the bind I'm in:

I've created a script that fires after any of my 20+ fields are modified. The Script works accept this status flag: status(CurrentFieldName). I want to create if/then commands in the script that does this:

If ["Status(CurrentFieldName) = "BLAH""]

Set Field ["gHistory", "History"]

Set Field ["History", & "gHistory & ... so and so changed BLAH from 'this' to 'that'...]

Exit Script

End If

If ["Status(CurrentFieldName) = "JUNK""]...

...

Essentially, it would page through 20+ if/thens until the status flag hits on the right field name, and would then update the History field. However, the status flag doesn't seem to work through the plugin. Perhaps because the "virtual cursor" leaves that field and moves on through the plugin somewhere??? Who knows... Any suggestions/ideas? Thanks

Is blah the name of the field "Status(CurrentFieldName" returns the name of the field not the data entered into it. if your field data is blah then blah = blah set field etc.

I believe this is one of the longstanding problems/bugs, with no real solution. This function does not work under most (if not all) conditions.
