Cannot Get Related Field Using Portal

I am constructing a fairly complex database (at least it seems that way to me!), but I have encountered a very simple yet annoying problem along the way. For the purpose of this discussion, I'll only mention the two tables involved in my problem.

I have two related files, one is a "Master" file and the other is a "Slave" file. The Master contains a portal that lists all the records in the Slave file. When a field is clicked on the portal, I would like the data from a corresponding Slave field copied into a field on the Master file for searching purposes.

Unfortunately, my script only copies the information from the very first record of the Slave file. It seems to completely ignore the portal row's position.

Here is my script (you can view the attachment to see the files for yourself):

1. Go to Related Record ["Rel"]

2. Go to Field ["RecipientField"]

3. Set Field ["RecipientField", "GetField("Rel::OtherInfo")"]

Any suggestions are welcome.

You make it way too complicated, all it takes is this:

Set Field [ RecipientField, Rel::OtherInfo ]

--sd

Gosh, those extra steps were unnecessary. You're suggestion works like a charm.

Thanks for the help!
