Selecting Multiple Portal Records

[James Gill]

I am using the method described at FMLayoutMode.com to allow my users to select multiple portal rows.

In a nutshell, they use a button in the portal to set a global field that contains the id of the highlighted portals;

Case (

FilterValues ( names:_kg_keyHolder ; names::__kp_ID )

; Substitute ( ¶ & names::_kg_keyHolder & ¶ ; ¶ & names::__kp_ID & ¶ ; ¶ )

; names::_kg_keyHolder & ¶ & names::__kp_ID

)

One issue with this method is that when a user unmarks all of their selections, it leaves the carriage returns in the field global. Because I am using a script to populate the global field to a child record's field, I want to be able to remove the contents of the child field if the user has unselected everything. Does it matter if the field contains carriage returns and no data? If it does, how would I go about modifying my script to wipe the field contents if there is no valid data or, in the alternative, how would I modify their script to remove the carriage returns when a record is remove from the highlighted row?

James,

Here is a script I use to toggle a mark. It cleans up carriage returns on remove.

I do usually get smooth sailing by using this CF:
