I have one field for which I would like to loop through its values. Currently I am doing it like this:

+++Define Field: FIELDS/+Name

+for each field VariableL

    +++set value to current Field: FIELDS/+Name

    ++Name Defined Field: FIELDS/+Name, WorkL<FieldName>, .Language

    If WorkL<FieldName> == <FieldName.InvoiceStatus>

      +For Each Field Value

                  ....

Is there a way to go straight to the field I want to study? In the example code I would like to go straight to VariableL<InvoiceStatus> without needing to loop through all other fields in the variable.

I do not know a way of going directly to a field in a variable in meta code, but if you +++define your field, you can add meta code to only generate the If statement when the field is equal.

   +++define Field: InvoiceStatus

   +++define +CurrentField

   +for each field VariableL

      +++set value to current +CurrentField

      +if eq +CurrentField, InvoiceStatus

          +for each field value.

If you only want the field values, without caring which variable it is in, it is easier still.

   +++define Field: InvoiceStatus

   +for defined value Field: InvoiceStatus

To get the values themselves

      +for each property target fld value val

OR to get the value triple

      +for each property Fld Value val

Thanks for help. Especially the second code example would be useful because you don't need to include a dummy field in the function to read the values.
