FileMaker Go 16 - Get(AccountGroupName)

johnpashley Jun 14, 2017 10:34 PM

Product and version FileMaker Go 16

OS and version iOS 10.3.2 / FM Go 16.0.1

Browser and version NA

Hardware multiple

Description: Get(AccountGroupName) does not return the group name, just the group ID. Eg: "{{1120}}" Tested with accounts on Mac OS Server 10.12.1. Works ok using the same file on FileMaker Pro 16. FileMaker Go 16 exhibits the same behaviour as FileMaker Pro/Go 15.

How to replicate: In a file that uses External Authentication, hosted on FMS bound to a Mac OS Server. In any layout , enter layout mode, select Insert > Other Symbol... then select AccountGroupName. Save the file and open it in FileMaker Go with externally authenticated account

Workaround (if any) ?

Thank you for your post.

For clarification, are you getting the group name from FileMaker Pro 16 but not from FileMaker Go 16? If it is an oAuth group, you will get the group ID.

That's correct. I can see the group name in Pro, but in Go I only see the ID.

Thank you for the clarification.

I don't see any issue reported with Get (AccountGroupName) specific to FileMaker Go, and I currently don't have access to External Authentication, so I have sent all information to our Development and Testing departments for review. When I receive any feedback, I will let you know.

Development has ensured me that the code is identical for both FileMaker Pro and FileMaker Go. Please send me a private message with details for accessing your server with a temporary authenticated account so we can test with both FileMaker Pro and FileMaker Go.

Can you verify you are using the same account credentials in FileMaker Pro and FileMaker Go?
