Thanks Jacquie. It's possible to change the version property? The dictionary makes it sound like that is the version of LC, not a user- defined standalone app version.

I have the following code in a savingStandalone handler in the script of

go to card "FieldPrompt" of stack "Prompts" as modal
if the dialogData is not "Cancel" then
set the BandTrakVersion of stack "BandTrak" to the dialogData
end if

The modal window is displayed and I enter the version number I want,
only it doesn't get saved into the BandTrakVersion custom property. This
used to work, I'm pretty sure, but has suddenly stopped working.

It should work as long as the dialogdata has a value. Check your prompt handler to make sure it's setting that. Is this for your own use only? I usually just use the message box to set the version custom property.


The reason I'm doing this is that I haven't been able to find a way to
access the Short Version information in the Standalone Applications
Settings, OSX tab and I want to display the current version of the
application in the standalone so if there is a way to access that data
I'd be happy to use it instead of rolling my own..

The short version is stored in your mainstack in the revStandaloneSettings property set, but those properties get stripped out during a standalone build, so they wouldn't be available to your standalone scripts anyway. Using your custom property is the best way to keep a permanent reference.
