[FX.php List] Passing Parameters for Perform Script Step

[Chris Hansen]

Malcolm,

Sorry about the slow response (up to my ears in alligators...)  You still need an action in there to actually cause FX to communicate with FileMaker.  When it's something like just running a script (i.e. the record pulled up in irrelevant to what the script is going to do), I usually use a findany request, as it's really quick -- only ever returning a single random record.  So that would be either FMFindAny() or DoFXAction('show_any'), depending on your preference.  Let me know if you have any questions about this.  Best,

--Chris
