Renaming fields - persistant reference
Any suggestions on looking up a field name under fm_evaluate in such a way that it will not break when the field name is changed in the schema.
What I think I need is a function on the FM side the returns the field name of a field as text. Almost like the inverse of GetField(). I guest it would also be feasible if I could evaluate expressions using FieldID's instead of their names.
I hope that I'm missing something obvious.
(Not too interested in the Go To Object script step either.)

FM is sorely missing a
FM is sorely missing a function that returns the name of the field of the current calculation, much like the Self function returns the value of the current field.
It's not going to be easy or quick, but you could use the design functions to map back and forth between field ids and field names.
