[FX.php List] Global field works on one table but not another?

[Dale Bengston]

When you're working on a hosted file, the globals are "temporary" to  
the current user. If they were blank when the table was hosted, they  
will revert the next time you open the file.

To get globals to stick, you have to open the file locally with FMP  
client, set the globals and then re-host the file.
