November 11, 200421 yr Hello, I'm trying to set a field based on the last modified field out of a group of fields in my record. Example, I trying to set "Progress" field based on the last modified field say out of 5 fields, lets just call them field "A", "B", "C", "D", "E". If "E" was last modified, I want the field "Progress" to display (E was last modified). Thanks for your help. _yung_
November 11, 200421 yr I don't think this can easily be done in version 6 due to Status(CurrentFieldName) not usually returning a result in a calculation. I think it would have to be scripted in some way. Ugo might have an answer though.
November 12, 200421 yr This is a situation where "field event trapping" would be desirable. EventScript is for FM version 7; with that, upon leaving a field, a script can launch which would have the step Set Field Progress with the name of the field (which could be the script parameter). For version 6, you could try the Waves' Events plug-in by Waves in Motion.
November 12, 200421 yr Hmm.. You need a second field, but it might work this way althought a bit tricky. :( FIELDmOD.FP5.zip
November 12, 200421 yr I couldn't get Status(CurrentFieldName) to return any value. Why won't Case( FieldA, Status(CurrentFieldName) ) produce anything when FieldA is modified? And why won't a mod Time auto-enter work here either?
