In earlier versions of filemaker if one had a field that had a radio button with 2 choices like Yes or No from a value list all you had to do was insert text "yes" and the button was filled in. I have tried set field , and insert text, insert calculated results and none of these things work. I want to be able to make a calculation or script to fill in some of these types of fields. I can't make it work now.

I want to paste the word "yes" and have it highlight the "yes" radio button.

Maybe you can post a sample file illustrating the problem.

You may want to double check your script or your field definition (number?) or your value list because it should be working

Is the field a number field? Yes used to work with number fields, it was treated as true (1). It doesn't work that way any more. Yes is not a number and so yes in the field is (numerically) empty.
