Create Record Format via Script

[AlHanson]

Is it possible to create a Record Format via script? I'm not seeing any commands related to this...

[Pat Stanford]

Look in the Database and Records section of the Vectorscript Function Reference.

 

NewField adds a field to an existing record. If you pass a name for a Record that does not exist it will be created and the field added to it.

 

 

Ask again if you need more help.

What @Pat Stanford said, and...

 

You can use NewField() to update the default value of an existing field in a record format after it exists. This only affects the field value stored in the record format but not any field values in existing records already attached to objects. It will affect new records when they are attached to objects.

Maybe you also could recycle this marionette script. It will create a record from an external list of record fields.
creating records from txt or xls. Also in the Marionette you could find the script commands you need for creating fields and record formats.

I thought it might function like this somewhere... why I didn't look at the NewField when digging around is beyond me.  Thanks everybody!
