Auto enter fields don't get their values

[WestCoaster]

Hi there,

we are currently developing a solution using the new FM PHP API. We have 2 FileMaker files that are entirely identical in their field and table definitions. They contain some auto enter fields in their main tables that retrieve values from a specific (helper) table (again the helper tables are identical in both files).

The strange thing that happens is that in the main table in one file when inserting a new record via PHP the values get loaded in the auto enter fields while in the other file those auto enter fields in the main table remain empty when using exactly the same PHP procedure.

Has anyone experienced this too? Are there any known limitations concerning WPE with this issue?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Thomas
