Hello.

I want to define a field function using the maximum value of another field function. ¿is this possible?¿how would it be?

Thx.

step 1: create a report for the field function for which you want the maximum. you can set this up to give the max value anywhere in the domain, anywhere on a specific surface, or on a derived part.

step 2: create a user defined field function that calls your maximum report. Lets assume you called it 'max', you can call it inside the field function using $maxReport.
