Repeating fields, transfer value to non-repeating

Featured Replies

FMP 6.0 question. I've got a repeating field of 20 repetitions. How can I take information from a certain repetition and move the data into a seaparate non-repeating field. I know I can copy and paste but I would like this to occur without the user having to do this. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi

you can use the GetRepetition(field;number) function, where "number" is the rep you want to copy, in a calculation field;

so, for example, if you have these values into "field":

A

B

C

GetRepetition(field;3) will give you: C

I had a look at that calculation and it appears that I need to specify a repetition number. What I'm looking for is a way to click on one of the repetitions and have the data transfer (copy?) to a different non-repeating field. Any thoughts?

No, sure not with FM 6 alone, maybe with a plugin.
