Script Access to a Field that Prevents Entry
databasepros.com/list.php?resource_id=DBPros001299
The Inspector has an option to prevent access to fields in browse mode. If you write a script to enter that field, like Go to Field, Copy or Insert Calculation, it will not work when a single script step is attached directly to the button. However, when you write a script and attach it using Perform Script, FileMaker allows access to the same field. This example demonstrates how to copy the contents of a field that does not allow entry via the Inspector. The second field is on the layout to allow for an area to paste, allowing you to verify the outcome.
