GetFieldName understanding?

[Tyra]

I am trying to dynamically grab the the fully qualified field/table name from a exit trigger script for updating the same field in another record. I have normally use a cogitation of Get(ActiveFieldName) & Get (ActiveFieldTableName).

Thought I could simplfy this by using: GetFieldName(self), but get the error message "This Function can not be used in this expression".

I also tried using:$name=

GetFieldName(Evaluate(Get(ActiveFieldName)))

But get "?" for the value when exiting the field.

What I am doing wrong here?

You cannot use Self in a script, because it has no meaning there. The formula =

GetFieldName ( Evaluate ( Get(ActiveFieldName) ) )

should work. If you're getting a ? then probably there is no field active at the time of evaluation.

Thanks Comment,

Tried the "Self" parameter in a calculation and works fine.

Will have to try GetFieldName(Evaluate(Get(ActiveFieldName))) with a modify trigger script instead of a exit trigger script.

modify trigger script instead of a exit trigger script.

I am not sure that's your problem.
