In addition to my request here ( MBS FileMaker Plugin 15.3 development - #19 by weetbicks ) I have another request/idea I think would be a nice time saver if doable.
Scripts obviously have context, and the actions are operating on a given TO at any given time. When writing a script and adding a “Go to Layout” or “Go to Related Record” script step, the context of the script can then change. However any subsequent script step you try to configure, always has its selected TO defaulting to that of whatever the current layout is that you’re on while writing the script.
I always find this frustrating, as I don’t really care what the layout is that I’m on while writing the script, the important thing is the context that the script is in at the point I’m working.
What I’d love is some extra button/icon that i can click beside a “Go to Layout” script step, that will actually just run a go to layout step and put me on that layout for whatever the active window is in that file. It’s just a shortcut to let me switch the layout so that when I’m writing the script, future steps like “set field” are already set on the correct context for me to set up.
I hope that makes sense. It’s just a nice time saver when writing scripts to solve an issue that I encounter in pretty much every script I write.
