A few weeks back I posted my first contribution to Todd Geist’s new collaborative effort to create a library of shared FileMaker modules. This script was originally inspired by the need to create reusable code for my customer projects at MightyData. My goal with the Propa-Gator module was to increase my coding efficiency by creating a portable script that would allow the creation of records and setting of any number of fields in the new record with any desired value.
In addition, I wanted the script to be able to use global field inputs as the field values in the new record and to nullify those globals on completion. Finally, I wanted to ensure that the script was completely context free and immune to field renaming.
