Field : Auto-enter calculation with global variable

[El_Pablo]

Is it possible to fill a field with a global variables using auto-enter calculation?

I know it's possible with a local variable in a script, but I have not been able with a global variable.

Thanks

Yes, it's possible and easy. What have you tried?

I just added GetValue($$companyInfo; 1) in the auto-calculation, but I always got an empty value. I've check if there was any value in $$companyInfo and there were some.

The data is separated from the interface.

I worked around the problem, but I still want to know how to do this.

Thanks

A sample file would be great...

Hmmm... it seems to work with a single file. I guess that the fact that I use a separation model might change the behavior.

Here's a version with a presentation layer. As you can see it doesn't work.

One of the caveats of using the separation model is that global variables are local to the file. They are not shared between files.

You could use a global field instead.

Yes, it is what I used as a workaround. Thanks for helping!
