add a record if don't exist

[MrCoffee]

I need to create script that will open a Custom windows and ask for a number, that number need to be check in all the records first, if it do not exist it need to create a new reccord with that value that was entered in that custom windows.

I am able to do a find in all the records if it don't exist the script creates a new record but the value that I have entered in the custom windows will not enter in the field

Anybody have a idea how I could get the value from that windows into the record field ?

Found it

a simple COPY and PASTE did the job :

I would recommend setting values into a VARIABLE then using SET FIELD to push the data from the variable into the field.

It isn't recommended to use COPY and PASTE steps for scripted processes, like this.

I agreed with Ocean. Firstly, before I learned about "Set Variable" and "Set Field" idea, I used to use COPY and PASTE. However, by using copy and paste, you need to switch around the layout. I thought, Set Variable and Set Field would be a better solution for "assigning" a value to another field...

I add problem at the beginning, kept getting a "0" value but it works great now with "Set Variable" and "Set Field"

A big Thank You guys :
