How to update field in current record only

I am a total noob to Filemaker and database design in general, so forgive me for basic questions.

I have a DB that uses buttons to modify existing fields. For example, I have a button that adds 5 to a field. The problem is that it adds 5 to ALL the records with that field name and I onll want it to add 5 to the current record's field.

I am using the "Replace Field Contents" script item with a targeted field and then "Replace with calculated result" which selects the field by name and then adds 5.

What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

You'll want to use the SetField script step instead. This will work on the specified field in the current record.

Regards,

Don
