Thomas Seidler Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 i reckon FMP went with 'Go To Object' instead, with specify by name, cos it is more reliable. You could easily have multiple instances of a field [assuming enterable] on a layout, in which case how does it know which one to go to? I think in practice go to object is a pretty tolerable work around. But I definitely hear where you are coming from... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same argument applies to the existing Go to Field [ HardcodedFieldName ] step... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryangrg Posted December 19, 2010 Author Share Posted December 19, 2010 GoToObject is extremely useful and I use it. But go to field by name is just another useful tool for different situations. I know everything has to go through extensive testing but this seems like simple internal code in an object oriented program from what I'm learning in my own c studies. What is the Filemaker development cycle like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
