Memento includes the capability for users to use JavaScript to accomplish complex tasks beyond the capabilities of the normal Memento user interface. Examples include JavaScript fields, Triggers, Actions, and Data Sources. The Memento JavaScript Library may be used to access Memento facilities.
Memento includes the capability for users to use JavaScript to accomplish complex tasks beyond the capabilities of the normal Memento user interface. Examples include JavaScript fields, Triggers, Actions, and Data Sources. The Memento JavaScript Library may be used to access Memento facilities (by all except JavaScript fields).


To keep JavaScript fields both easy and safe for users, they may use only a portion of the library, and the nature of its use is simplified. Any limitations or differences related to JavaScript fields will be identified.

This object provides access to library entries. You can work with the current library — the ''lib()'' — or any other library in the database — ''libByName()''. This function provides the ability to update existing entries and create new ones.

:'''Note:''' In the case where the field to be set is a Link To Entry field, the second argument should be the entry name of the entry to link to. If there are, in that library, multiple fields set as Entry Name, the entry name for the set() method is formed by separating the value of those fields by a comma (,) — not a comma and a space, but only a comma.
