Global Fields

FileMaker global fields store values that are visible across the current session. FMData provides SetGlobalFieldAsync to set these values.

Setting a Global Field

var response = await client.SetGlobalFieldAsync(
    "BaseTable",        // the base table name
    "GlobalStatus",     // the global field name
    "Active");          // the value to set

The field name should be the fully qualified field name as FileMaker expects it (table occurrence and field name).

Note (XML client): When using the XML client, global field values are queued and sent with the next request to the server rather than being sent immediately.
