Best way to check FileMaker “Context”?

Lounge (Discussions)

I use a custom function named "cf CorrectContext." It has one parameter, getFieldNameX.

Internally it contains this code:

/*
Given a fully qualified field name, return true if the field matches the current layout table name 
*/

Let (
	parts = Substitute ( getFieldNamex ; "::" ; ¶ ) ; 
	GetValue ( parts ; 1 ) = Get(LayoutTableName)
)

This allows me to use the function in script steps and other calculations:

If [   cf correctContext ( GetFieldName ( field-ref ) ) ] 
 // code here
End if
