// getLayoutID.sameFile // twdesigns.com // https://fmhelp.filemaker.com/help/18/fmp/en/index.html#page/FMP_Help/design-functions.html -> "If you specify no filename (""), functions return results for the current file." Let ( [ ~the_layout_IDs = LayoutIDs ( "" ) ; ~a_layout_number = Get ( LayoutNumber ) ; ~a_layout_ID = GetValue ( ~the_layout_IDs ; ~a_layout_number ) ; ~result = ~a_layout_ID ] ; ~result ) Click to copy

Why should I care? Here is one use case...

If you are navigating to a Layout that might have been renamed, for example, in a code clean up work flow where you are using an FMP URL...you will want to use code that takes "a_layout_ID" as input and converts it to a LayoutNumber. Then use script step "Go to Layout [Layout Number]"
