Custom Values to Script

[Matthew R White]

Hi all,

I have a button set as a pop up menu with about 10 custom values.

I'm trying to get it so that when the user selects one of these values filemaker performs a certain script.

Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Matt

Hi Matt,

Attach your script to the field with script trigger, OnObjectModify.

Laretta,

I understand what you are saying, and I know how to do it with a field, but the custom values aren't fields, and I'm not sure know how to assign a script to a value.

I'm trying to get it so that when the user selects one of these values filemaker performs a certain script.

When a User selects one of those values, it becomes the value in the field at which point the script fires. Why would the script need to know the custom values and not the value in the field at that point? Are you saying you want the script to fire BEFORE the value is selected? It might help if you can briefly explain the User perspective, what the data represents and what the script will do?

Maybe you want a calculation (to use within your script) which compares what is in the field to the custom list?
