Filemaker Go - "Container cannot be modified" error

in FileMaker Go for iPhone & iPad

Hi there,

We have have just switched all our container storage to external, and suddenly all containers on Filemaker go are no longer accessible.

We use the container fields to collect and store customer signatures. But since we changed to secure external storage we just get the following error on FMG

"Container cannot be modified"

Has anyone else experienced this before? is there some issue with external storage an FMG compatibility?

We are running FM server 14 over WAN and ipad's with FMG in multiple locations.

ok, I found the issue to this problem.

It just so happened that shorty after setting the container fields to "External Storage" I also started creating custom menu's.

the "insert" menu was missing so it didn't allow the inserting of images into container fields.

Once I added that menu all was working well.
