Auto-populate Custom Dialog

[crazybake]

I am sure this is simple.... but I cannot seem to get it right.

I have a script step to show a custom dialog box. It has one input field (a global text field). How do I make sure that the dialog box field is empty - I don't want the previous value to populate the dialog as it appears.

Insert a line

Set Field[YourGlobalTextField; ""]

just before the Show Custom Dialog[ ] line in your script. If you want to keep the value just in case the dialog user clicks Cancel, insert a Set Variable[$$TempGlobalValue; YourGlobalTextField] line first

Remember that only clicking on the default button (no 1) works on the entry fields.
