    I have just created my first application in Tap Forms. Works well and was simple to create.

    I now want to explore Scripting but need a few pointers to where to start. I can see the panel on the right of the Form screen with 3 tabs Form, Fields, Scripts.

    Clearly I need to create a new Script in the Scripts tab.

    Questions:
    1 how do you attach a Script to a Form?
    2 How do you attach a Script to a Field?
    3 In each case when is the Script activated?

    Can your please direct me to the documentation that explains this.

    I was a bit hasty. I have found it in the documentation

    FYI, there is a custom GPT called Tap Forms 5 Assistant, in ChatGPT. It is unofficial and not supported by the true and final arbiter of all things Tap Forms, Brendan. However, it might help you when Brendan is busy banging out Tap Forms 6!

    I’m glad you found the Scripting documentation. Form scripts are activated only when you manually run them. Field scripts are activated when a field you’re getting the value from is modified within the selected record. Creating a Form script automatically attaches it to the selected form.
