Append current value to the array from UI

Anonymous — Mon, 21 Aug 2017 08:57:48 GMT

I wonder if somebody could help me with my problem. I have added several fields to the layout info and I am reading these from my object (from LAYOUT_REVISION_HISTORY).

Now I would like to have a button to append current values of these fields to some array and display them.

I try to find a way to trigger action of appending current value to the array from UI. Is it possible to trigger some macro from interface or parameter script that would append current value? I want to store this array within gdl object rather than write to file.

Thank you for help,

Maciek

if GLOB_MODPAR_NAME = "variable" then ...

You need the quotes around the variable name.

Thank you Barry. I have tried that but it returns null after you click UI_Button. So it's hard to tell which button was clicked.

If anybody wondered – I ended up up with attached script (will append first custom field from layout info). Need to make these buttons work nicer but it works.
