Re: customize find results

we'll probably go a step further in 18 and write a routine to rename
everything.
now if i can get a ST/Atom grammar/tab file so we can do edits outside of
the 4d editor more easily...

I'm not aware of any built-in feature to do that. I would export a copy to 4D 
18 project mode and use something like BBEdit or TextMate where you have grep 
and other features.

customize find results

2020-02-28 Thread Mike Kerner via 4D_Tech
4d 17
is there a way to customize the way objects display in the find results?
if you do a find in database for some code, you get a list, but the list
includes things in the format formname.objectname which isn't very
helpful when objectname is "field2", because that's what 4d named the
object when the form was created with the form wizard instead of the object
source, e.g. "address"
