#FileMaker devs:
Can we programmatically tell if a field has "Field entry" enabled in Browse Mode?
A scripted "Go to Next Field" enters field whether or not Field entry is enabled. Can we tell if active field is enterable? Or see which fields on layout are? (maybe AppleScript?)

Using this, we can also access the DOM elements of the web page in the Web viewer. This means that scraping and controlling the web page can be achievable via FileMaker.

VERY Inspired!
Based on this, we can specify the anonymous func to the 2nd arg of script step "Perform Javascript in webviewer".
Also include some libraries and use its method in this step. Even more we can get back the processed data via PerformScript.
Dear #FileMaker people:
Does anybody know why a local file (on local computer, NOT on FMServer) might require a user to "sign in again to continue"?
FM18/FM19. Mac. There are no onTimer scripts.

This is a companion article to my discussion with Jeremy Brown on The Context Podcast:

New limits on #FileMaker Data API use: FMS19.3 EULA
1.(d) "You cannot use the Data API as a client replacement. By way of example, if you intend to serve 10 users, you must purchase a 10 user license or concurrent connections license."
How much usage = "client replacement"?
I'm looking to consult with a #FileMaker developer with experience maintaining an FMP solution across a large number of international locations (ideally retail stores), on different macOS, hardware, & printers — & no local tech support.
Know of anyone I could talk to? (pls RT)

I heard through the Twitter that Chrome "rewrote tables" in v91.

I saw it dropped, upgraded, and did a quick test. HEY LOOK STICKY TABLE HEADERS AND FOOTERS.

(Works in Safari and Firefox too)
It is fixed in M91. We rewrote tables. Developer notes: docs.google.com/document/d/1…
