Default Script

Default Script

CATEGORY: Scripting
CLASS: General

In early versions of FileMaker scripting, a new script would always have some default script steps included. After a lot of input from the developer community, FileMaker removed that default action. This is because the first step after creating a new script was to remove the automatically added steps created by default.

In FileMaker 10, the default script action has been added back in as an option. This is available from the down arrow button that is found right next to the “New” button in the Manage Scripts dialog box.

When selected, a new script will automatically have the steps of Enter Browse Mode, Go To Layout and Perform Find within them. As of FileMaker 11, there is no way for a developer to create their own default options for this feature.
