The 'property thing' does not refer to the CARD properties,
but the customProperties of the STACK
---- tested in a working stack ------------------
--note fld statusCode is NOT shared
-- flds desiredCodeString notnowCodeString
-- ARE SHARED
-- fld output is NOT shared
-- all fields are in a group that behaves as backgound
on doCustomPropertyRun
-- I use 'cps' to mean 'cust prop set'
set the customPropertySet of this stack to "cpsStatusCodes"
--make this set empty
set the customkeys of this stack to empty
--you only need to do the repeat when changes are made
-- or when the stack closes
repeat with k = 1 to the number of cards
put word -1 of the short id of card k into thisCdId
get k & "^" & word 1 to -1 of fld "statusCode" of card k
replace cr with space in IT
set the cpsStatusCodes[ thisCdId ] of this stack to IT
end repeat
save this stack --if it is run in the IDE, but not if an app
--To get the list of 'marked cards' you would do the following
type of operation
set the customPropertySet of this stack to "cpsStatusCodes"
put the customProperties of this stack into statusCodeList
-- now make a regular list
combine statusCodeList using cr and "^"
set the itemdel to "^"
if field "desiredCodeString" is not empty then
filter statusCodeList with "*" & field "desiredCodeString" & "*"
--and now you have a list of cd id's
end if
if field "notnowCodeString" is not empty then
filter statusCodeList without "*" & field "notnowCodeString" &
"*"
-- and you have a shorter list if any have been removed
end if
-- if you want the card order, use the following
sort statusCodeList numeric by item 2 of each
put statusCodeList into fld "output"
--this allows showing a list of hits and changing the final list
in many ways
end doCustomPropertyRun
