      Hello,

      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 list from UI. Is it possible to trigger some macro from interface or parameter script that would append current value? Also I want to store this array within gdl object rather than write to file.

      Thank you for help,

      Maciek

      Related question: Is there a way in GDL to check if some variable changed its value?

      You should not store any values, as they can be changed without running the object’s paramscript.

      Gergerly – that’s fine I didn’t want to have real-time values.

      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.

      There is GLOB_MODPAR_NAME but returns null after you click UI_Button.

      I think GLOB_MODPAR_NAME might only work in the Master or Parameter scripts, not the UI script.

      Yes I think so too. Probably worth to mention common workaround – Create global variable var and then in parameter script write
      parameters var = GLOB_MODPAR_NAME
      than you can reference to var in Master and 2D. In case anybody wondered – because that is not intuitive at all.

      Value of GLOB_MODPAR_NAME should not be stored in a parameter… It is not a core data of an object.
