Edit and Upgrade Existing Workflows

This example is the most realistic day-to-day workflow for many FileMaker developers.

Show how to capture an existing script, ask Genie for a focused improvement, and review the generated delta before apply.

  1. Open the existing script in FileMaker.
  2. Use Add Selection to capture the relevant area.
  3. Ask Genie for one concrete upgrade.
  4. Review the resulting preview.
  5. Apply the change and show the updated script.
  • Add better error handling around this find loop.
  • Refactor this script so the hardcoded layout name comes from a variable.
  • Upgrade this import flow so it validates missing data before commit.
  • why a focused scope makes edits cleaner
  • how Genie stays tied to the captured selection
  • what to look for before clicking Apply Code
  • how to iterate when the first result is close but not perfect
  • one short walkthrough video
  • one screenshot of the captured context badge
  • one screenshot of Preview Code
  • one screenshot of the updated script after apply
