Prompt Dialog Box

Postby JCGrafted » Mon Jun 12, 2017 9:30 am

I use FileMaker Pro 15.

There is a multi part find I do quite often. I thought to shorten the process. I thought I was about to write a simple script but it turned out not so simple.

All I am doing is looking for the same data (an email address) in multiple fields. I have to paste the address into seven different fields to complete the search. I thought to create a script that would do the following:

1) Create a variable
2) open a Prompt Dialog Box that asks for the email address
3) set variable to match prompt
4) use variable to plug into a multi part find

Simple enough, but while I find a script option to open a Dialog Box, I do not see an option to add an Input Prompt. Am I just missing something? If not I would like to suggest this as an added feature.
