GTRR with external layout red marked when Importing

Fred(CH):

Thank you for your post.

I am unable to replicate the issue.  This is what I have done:

1. I created a two file solution, linking two tables together by ID (Number field).

2. The layout of the first file is named "Table", and the layout of the second file is named "Related".

3. On the layout of the first file, I created a portal displaying fields from the second file.

4. I created a script in the first file that simply perform a Go To Related Record:

   Go to Related Record [ Show only related records ; Match found set ;

   From table: "Table 2" ; External ; Using layout: "Related"]

5. I copied the button, created a new script, and pasted.

Let me know what I'm doing differently than you so I can replicate the issue.

Thank you for the additional information.

I am still unable to replicate the issue.  I highlight the main script in the left pane, copy it to the clipboard, and paste.  The pasted script shows the the new script (followed by the number "2"), and all steps, including the Go To Related Record script step, appear without any highlighting.  As you mentioned, the Duplicate script command works as expected.

NOTE: I realize the creation of a portal and button were unnecessary, but I tend to log all actions taken.  My normal actions when creating a relationship is to add a portal to the layout.  Since this involved a Go To Related Record issue, I automatically added a button that would execute a script that has Go To Related Record script step.

Do you have a sample file I can use?  If so, I have sent you a private message with instructions where to send the file.

I received your files.  Thank you.

I can replicate the issue with FileMaker Pro 15.0.1 using your files under both Mac OS X 10.11.5 and Windows 7.  After pasting, if I select the first script and then select the copied script, the error no longer appears.

I have sent your posts and files, along with my findings, to our Development and Testing departments for review.  When I receive any feedback, I will let you know.

Testing has confirmed the issue, as it only appears to be cosmetic.  This issue isn't related to Copy and Paste.  The issue is the external/host file doesn't have a second layout, which should not be highlighted/checked.  All information has been forwarded to Development for further review.

Your understanding is correct.  The issue is it shouldn't be highlighted as it comes from an external file.  It is purely cosmetic.
