Hello, all-- Novice question here:

After a find is performed, my script navigates discretely to a layout (viewed as table) with only the RecordID field present. I want to take the Record ID values from the found set (as a return-delimited list), go back to the original layout, and put the list into a global key in order to populate related records in a portal on that layout.

Rather than using the Scriptmaker steps Copy All Records and Paste, I'm thinking there must be a more elegant way to accomplish this without having to copy the contents of the found set to the clipboard, or loop through hundreds (or possibly thousands) of records. Tried putting List(RecordID) into a variable but that didn't work, it only grabbed the value from the first record in the found set. My relationship graph is already quite cluttered so I'm hoping I won't need to create another relationship. Any suggestions/tips greatly appreciated.

Many thanks--

The alternatives are either a custom function or a looping script. See also:
