What’s even better is when you have a field named “First”, and you’ve used that attribute on an entity, every time after that you type .first(), it “autocompletes” to .First() when you type the first parentheses. I haven’t tested yet to see if member functions are case sensitive like

Narinder, This is a good point. Previously 4D has been sort of development environment with its own editors and so forth. But now we are starting to look for it to be more of an IDE. Especially with the Projects option coming where the 4D part is all stored in text files. On Fri, Aug 2, 2019 at

Narinder, I just pasted your example into a new db in 17.2 (Mac) and it worked as expected. I'd suggest dragging the $object var into the debugger pane. Though it worked for me typing in the variable as well. On Fri, Aug 2, 2019 at 9:41 AM Narinder Chandi via 4D_Tech < 4d_tech@lists.4d.com>
