Aloha Peter:
Now this what i call a Prime New Year gift!
Sweet.
And, yes, I do work a lot with list fields and to make lists editable I
had to add this to your script
set the listBehavior of the target to not tf
but then this toggles all fields to listbehavior when locked... . so it
required more....
the problem is you can determine if a field has listbehavior when it is
set, but if you turn listbehavior off, then one needs a way to preserve
the fact that this is a list field, even when it's listbehavior is off.
So I added a custom prop to list fields so that they maintain their list
property thru the editing session. Perhaps there is a better way, but
this works:
by adding this to your setProp handler
if the listbehavior of the target is true then
set the uList of the target to true
end if
if the uList of target = true then
set the listBehavior of the target to not tf
end if

I use a virtual property:
on mouseup theBtn
if theBtn = 1 and "field" is in the target and the \
commandkey is down and the shiftkey is down then
set the writable of the target to not the writable of the target
else
pass mouseup
end if
end mouseup
setprop writable tf
if "field" is not in the target then exit writable
try
if the listbehavior of the target is true then
set the uList of the target to true
end if
if the uList of target = true then
set the listBehavior of the target to not tf
end if
set the locktext of the target to not tf
set the traversalon of the target to tf
set the autohilite of the target to tf
set the listBehavior of the target to not tf # required for list
fields
-- catch tError
-- beep
-- answer tError
end try
end writable
getprop writable
if "field" is not in the target then return ""
try
put the locktext of the target into L
put the traversalon of the target into T
put the autohilite of the target into A
if T and A and not L then return true
return false
end try
end writable
Put this in a library stack or a frontscript and it will work
everywhere -- command-shift-click on any field and toggle the writable
of the field. I use it constantly. You can revise this to just toggle
the locktext if you work with list fields a lot, so that the usual
hiliting and line selection are preserved, locked or unlocked.
