Just for the heck of it...
I have always had some problems with GTRR, that is mostly I found it
to restrictive, so I simply gave up on it.
Instead to edit a related record I use the following:
Portal button performs the following script
Set global related record ID
Goto field
Check if edit window is already open
If not
Open edit window
Goto edit layout
Find record using record ID stored in global
Then when the user has finished editing the record he simply closes
the edit window which again ends the process of editing.
No hassle with script commands that sometimes work and sometimes not.

I have a company file with a portal of contacts from my contact file
that are tied to that company via company number. The portal is set to
allow entry of new records. In FMP 6, I would enter a name and
title of
a new record entry(to include email and phone numbers). I would then
use the button to GTRR to finish inputting info that I had. No
problem.
However, when I attempt to do the same thing in 8.5, I get the
following error message: "This record cannot be modified in this
window
because it is already being modified in a different window."
I do not have the "show in new window." checked on the GTRR script
step.
All I've done is enter new record starting in the portal, then
clicking
on the button that takes me to the record to complete the input. The
only way to get out of this is to go back and close the company record
with portal.
Any ideas why I can't do this as I did in fmp 6? and how to correct
it?
