Obviously the way I have set this up is wrong (I am familiar with databases but brand new to Filemaker).

Here is an example of what I see when I try to use the layout: The portal does correctly display the existing (imported) data, though. the second row in the example image should have a phone number filled in

In each portal row I have edit boxes for the Phone::Label and Phone::PhoneNumber fields, and a drop-down control with "Display data from" = IDDCode::Displa圜ode and the "Values from" list set up as: In the layout for editing Person records, I have a portal (with all default options) pointing to the Phone table. Verify your custom function names against the built-in functions, and change your custom function names if needed. Part of the relationship diagram is shown below:įor each Person record, I have zero or more Phone records, each corresponding to exactly one IDDCode record. If you created custom functions in FileMaker Developer 7 or FileMaker Pro 8 Advanced and the names are identical to new FileMaker Pro 8.5 built-in functions, the built-in functions will override your custom functions. I am creating a contacts database using FileMaker Pro 19.
