Commit Records/Requests
Purpose
Commits a record.
Format
Commit Records/Requests [No dialog]
Options
Skip data entry validation overrides any data entry validation options set for fields and commits the
record anyway. This option only skips validation for fields set with the Only during data entry
validation option in the Options for Field dialog box; fields set to Always validate will still validate,
even if the Skip data entry validation option is selected.
Perform without dialog prevents a dialog box from displaying when the script step executes that
asks the user to confirm the commit action.
Compatibility
This script step is also supported in web publishing and in a FileMaker Server scheduled script.
Originated in
FileMaker Pro 6.0 or earlier
Description
This script step exits the current record or find request, updating field data and making no field
active.
Examples
Show Custom Dialog ["Commit record or revert changes?";
"Click 'Commit' to save your changes, or 'Revert' to
discard changes to this record."]
#1 = Commit, 2 = Revert
If [Get(LastMessageChoice) = 1]
Commit Records/Requests
Else
Revert Record/Request [No dialog]
End If
