Value List for Specific Layout

["... you mean these fans?"]

Hi,

 

I have a file table that has many Forms.  Each form has it's own layout.

 

How can I provide a field my users can click into, list the layout names that I need ( only the Form Layouts ), and have the user select whichever form layout they wanted based on the drop down list.

 

Value List doesn't work to the best of my understanding.

 

And the other alternative is to create a new table just for layout names.  Then have a script step check the user selection to the actual layout names ...

 

If ["PatterCount ( LayoutName ( Get ( FileName ) ) ; g_UserSelectableField ) = 0

 

Message ..

 

Else

 

Continue with script

 

End If

 

Is there an easier way ??

 

Thank you.

Hi Eos,

 

Perfect!

 

Never thought of a value list like that.

 

Thank you.
