Hi,

I am just wondering how to see the variable "currentList", "existingSelection", and filteredList inside calculation. The debug tool in filemaker advanced didn't have it. Many Thanks.

Data Viewer or

use a script to show the variable

Show custom dialog ($var.Name)

Hi Kent, :^)

In addition to Ian's input, if you want to see variables defined within a Let() statement within a calculation (whether from field definitions, script or conditional format), you can comment out the calculation portion of the script // and replace it with the variable name. So if your calc is something like:

Let (

currentList = bla bla

;

the calc here

)

You can change it to:

Let (

currentList = bla bla

;

//the calc here

currentList

)

... and it will display the value from that calculation variable. If the calculation portion (the 'the calc here' part) is more than one line, instead wrap it with start of /* and end of */

also this plugin can evaluate vars/calcs/lets in calc box on fly http://www.dracovent...y/developer.php
