Bonjour André,

When you write "put theItem into gTheTarget", the engine understands that you want to put the parameter theItem into the global variable gTheTarget. If you add at the end of your menuPick handler "put gTheTarget" you will check this.
But...
if you write do "put theItem into" && gTheTarget, the engine will substitute the value of gTheTarget and put the value in the field.
And I assume it's what you want :-)

Check the do command in the docs: it's an invaluable command even if you have to know that using do can slow down code execution.
But in this case it will be always unnoticeable.

Best Regards from Paris,

Hi,

On a card, in a substack I have a field « duration » to be filled in with possible lenghts of time. On the card of another substack named « theTools » I have a pop Up button (say « PossibleDurations ») with a list of menu items such as « one day »,… « three days »,…, « one week », …, « three weeks », …, « one month », …, « three months »,…

In the first substack, the script of the field « duration » is  :

on mouseUp
  global gTheTarget,
  -------------------
  put the long name of me into gTheTarget
  open stack "theTools"
end mouseUp

In the substack « theTools », the script of the button « possibleDurations » is :

on menuPick theItem
  global gtheTarget,
----------------
  put theItem – in msg
  put cr & gLaCible after msg
  put theItem into gTheTarget
end menuPick

In the message box, theItem and gLaCible are right

But the line « put theItem into gTheTarget » does works ; nothing happens, no error message.

Now I have spent a couple of hours trying to find why, I am completely lost :-((

Could somebody tell me what I am doing wrong ?

Thanks a lot for any help

Best regards from Grenoble
André
