(where the field "Main::Items Purchased" is defined for 30 repetitions)
Function definition: (Copy & paste into FileMaker's Edit Custom Function window)
This Custom Function returns the number of repetitions a field is defined for. It is NOT the number of repetitions displayed in the field on the current layout (a subset of the total number). This function does require that the field selected be listed in the table for the front window (ex. if the field name is “Main::Items Purchased”, then the front window must use the table “Main”). Otherwise, the result will be “0”.
This Custom Function is recursive.
