display container field file name

in Remote Container Fields

Featured Replies

I have a container field that is populated primarily by pdf files. Every once in a great while a user will copy a pdf from one records container field to another records container field. The problem is that for some reason filemaker converts the file that is copied into the new records container field to a .wmf file type. I need to either need to figure out how to have filemaker retain the file type when a user selects copy and paste or to have filemaker display the file name in a separate field. I am using filemaker server 13 and the container fields are stored externally and also securely. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

you can simply define a text field with calculation doing GetAsText(ContainerField) to show the name.
