change a value list for another in a field

[barbaras]

Hello,

I would like to setup a script to change the value list that I used in a "popup" field for another value list. I would like to be able to change to switch between those two value lists. Is it possible ?

Thank you for your help,

Create to layouts, identical except for the value list on the field. Create a script that switches between them.

Hi,

I'm using FMP 5.5 with macOS 9.2.2

You can use a conditional value list based on a relationship, the value of which is toggled in a field in each record. That will change the values in the list.

Check out article on FMI Web site:

You can also use a calculation with the new Get Field function dynamically to switch the field that populates the value list.
