Can't enter fields in portal

[muzz]

I've just run into a portal problem after converting to FM8.5 from 6. I have a portal whose visibility is determined by a calculation - if certain criteria aren't met, it "covers up" fields to stop data entry. This has been defined as a button to "Exit Script" if clicked outside the field entry, I think to stop the portal from staying highlighted (it's been years since I last looked at this).

In FM6 I could still click on the fields and gain entry to them however now in FM8.5 if there is any button definition attached at all it stops entry into the fields - if the button "Does Nothing", then the portal stays highlighted if clicked on outside the fields.

I have double and triple checked all the settings and can't solve this problem - can anyone help?

Cheers, Murray.

You might have to add a script step after "Exit Script":

Commit Record/Request

You can also add a square (see-through, no border) and add a field definition of "Commit record/request"

Thoughts?

Thanks for your reply Martha. I've not been able to have any success with any button configuration other than to make it "Do Nothing", so I have left it like that for now.
