Title
Need help with printing fields that include large amounts of text
Post
Hello!
I am a FM Pro newbie. I've been tasked with updating an existing FMP13 customer support ticketing application DB. I'm trying to produce a layout that will allow the printing of all the related comment field records attached to a particular record.
Use case: Customer enters ticket (new record). There is a comment section that allows dialog back and forth between customer and support. This is achieved via a portal in the main layout. I'm trying to find a way print all of the text in each of the comments that are attached to the ticket.
I searched the forums, as well as the web in general and haven't found a workable solution. I tried to replicate the portal from the main layout, but trying to print it out is giving me problems.
Thanks for your help!
You need to print a list from the comments tables. Use a Go to Related Records step to find the comments for the ticket, then print the list of comments. Do not try to print portables. They are not meant to be printed.
