ButtonValue ( Number )

Useful to make it easier for passing multiple parameters to a script from a button.

Description:
This script is very powerful when using multiple parameters on a button.
My preferred method for passing multiple parameters to a script is to use the Let () function within a button parameter. Use a function like the following in your button's optional parameter.
Let(
[
return = "¶"
action = "AddRecord";
value = some_field_value;
value2 = another_value
];
action & return & value & return & value2
)
In your script that receives the button call, use conditional statements such as
If [ButtonValue( 1 ) = "AddRecord"] then
do script steps here
Else If [ButtonValue ( 1 ) = "UpdateRecord"] then
do step here like Set Field [SomeField; ButtonValue ( 2 )]
End If
In layouts with minimal actions you can use one script for all actions within that screen.
Note: these functions are not guaranteed

developer with any questions or problems.
