Thanks Éric, John and Mark for your answers.
The solution from Éric and John is working nicely now : Merci
beaucoup and thanks a lot :-)))
Actually I was putting theItem into the global variable, instead of
the field "duration"
As Éric said, I should have test the content of gTheTarget at the end
of the menuPick handler ;
but I kept stuck believing that gTheTarget was containing the name of
the targeted field :-)
Sure I will remember this use of do command !
Best regards from Grenoble

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
