I have a LOT of camera equipment (Camera, Lens, Filters, tripods, bags, etc.).

If you want to extend Memento with JavaScript, I suggest you read the wiki, so you can learn how to do it. If you want to use the simplest scripts, you could try using a JavaScript field, but it doesn't have fancy global functions like set() or link() or libByName(), but it does have simple global functions like field(); | If you want to extend Memento with JavaScript, I suggest you read the wiki, so you can learn how to do it.

For a shared function definition, it should be... | |||
<pre> | |||
function sub(fieldname, fieldvalue) { | |||
entry().set(fieldName, fieldValue); | |||
} | |||
</pre> | |||
Then call that in a trigger, action, or whatever with this... | |||
<pre> | |||
sub("name", "bullet"); | |||
</pre> | |||

We know only what we can glean ... That there is a field named "name" and a value "bullet" that you want to go into that field. If it's a shared script, why does it call a global function field()? There is no such global function. There must be a "current entry" for that, and shared scripts (like most other things) don't work for JavaScript fields. | |||
If you tell us more, we can be of more help, but all I can do is guess that the following is what you want... | |||
It must be a trigger script or an action script located in an entry. This enables the entry() global function to work, so there is a "current" entry. | |||
So, <code> entry().set("name", "bullet"); </code> is all the script you need, if your objective is to set that field's value to "button". If you're wanting to do something else, you might consider telling what that is. | |||
