[FM 8] Multiple field definition bug (??)

AnFrusch@pepp
in Calculation Engine (Define Fields)

Hello all,

I hope I'm wrong but I think I've found a bug in the latest version o filemaker..

I've written a script in Fm 6 (then I've converted the file to FM 7) which defines all the repetitions of a multiple field (6 repetitions) with a calculation (the result is calculated evaluating and taking the value from a related database).

In FM 6 and 7 it works and all the repetitions are filled up.

In FM 8 only the first repetition seems to be definable through a calculation, the other repetitions stay empty.

Only defining a global field with the calculation result and setting the repetition with the value of the global field everything works..

I hope the facts are clear..

I know there are a new dinamic way to define the repetitions but I would like this script (and many others like this) works anyway.

Anybody experienced something similar?

Bye.

I think it would help if we could see an example file demonstrating the problem, or at least post the calc.
