I have the following setup in Filemaker Pro 10.
Table1 with: id_table1, related_names
Table2 with: id_table2, name, include
and a joint-table with: id_table1, id_table2
Now I want either make related_names a calculated field or write a script that sets related_names to a comma separated list of all names which are connected through the joint-table and have Table2.include = True.
So for example a data set could look like:
Table1
id_table1, related_names 1, "foo,bar" 2, "foo" 3, ""
joint-table
id_table1, id_table2
1,1
1,2
1,3
2,1
Table2
id_table2, name, include
1, foo, True
2, bar, True
3, baz, False
After searching the internet for a few hours the closest I came was a calculated field with list(join-table::id_table2) which gives me a list with a all the id_table2's. But now I would need to find the appropriate records in table2 and check the include field.
I hope the problem is clear. any help is highly appreciated.
