Importing custom functions (FileMaker Pro Advanced)You can import custom functions from other FileMaker files. You can also copy and paste custom functions within a file or between files. See Using custom functions (FileMaker Pro Advanced).When you import a custom function, FileMaker Pro automatically resolves dependencies when custom functions call other custom functions.

8. Click Open Log File to view the import log file, or click OK to close the Import Summary dialog box.Note The custom function you imported appears at the bottom of the list. If FileMaker Pro determines this function is invalid in the context of the target file (for example, a dependent function, field, or calculation is missing from the target file or the function contains an invalid field type reference), the imported function is enclosed in comment characters (/*<function_definition>*/). For more information, see Custom Function dependency rules (FileMaker Pro Advanced).
• If you import custom functions from another file, then click Cancel to close the Manage Custom Menus dialog box, all changes you made while the dialog box was open are discarded and the imported functions are removed from the file.
• If you cancel an import in progress before it completes, any functions imported before you cancel must be manually removed from the target file.
