Description
This script step removes the contents of the field without placing the contents on the Clipboard. If
you want to cut and paste the field information, use the

restore the contents.
Note If you manually select field data before you run this script step in FileMaker WebDirect, the
script step performs as if you did not make a selection. To select field data before you run this script
step in FileMaker
WebDirect, use the Set Selection script step.
