Duplicating Layout to Next table

WallFilm
in Script Workspace and Script Triggers

Featured Replies

I need to create the exact same layout with 4 fields and assign it to several tables with exactly the same number of fields.

How can I create a Looped script in FMP12 which copies Layout Homework assigned to Table 01 as Homework02 assigned to Table 02?

All tables already are populated with the fields content. HOwever as I have hundred of students and each worked differently I have more than 49 tables

Portals are not useful as most data is graphics or short films

Thanks for any help

Regards to all

Regards to you, too.

The bad news: You can't automate this task, because scripts do not work in Layout mode (note the absence of an “Enter Layout Mode” script step and any layout-related steps).

But from the few infos you give, I guess that your data model could do with some optimizing - 49 tables with 4 fields each sounds wrong.

Don't know if this is the good news, seeing as you already have data in place.

I agree that possible the data model might be wrong.

But for duplication of layouts I really can recommend:

You can copy the FM layout to XML and adjust just by some text replacements (i.e. search replace table name)

I's also possible with ScriptMaster I think but I've never tried it.
