Overview

The ValueListItem object represents an item in a Filemaker value list. ValueListItem is subclassed from String, so you can use it just like a string. It does have three additional methods to help separate Filemaker value vs display items.

Getting values vs display items:

  • #value the value list item value

  • #display is the value list item display. It could be the same as value, or it could be the “second field”, if that option is checked in Filemaker

  • #value_list_name is the name of the parent value list, if any
