Observations of Anomalies in FMP Find Layout

 The "Find" environment is totally different than the "Browse" universe - when it comes to entering data from the Clipboard.

When pasting the contents of a Cell in Excel into a Field, the difference between Find and Browse is this: 

in Find it will also paste the LF (aka Paragraph Entry)

in Browse it will paste the text sans the LF

Create a WebViewer on a Layout and paste it in your Code Field; this works correctly:
"data:text/html, <html> <head> <script type='text/javascript'> function startTime() {var today=new Date(); var h=today.getHours(); var m=today.getMinutes();var s=today.getSeconds(); m=checkTime(m); s=checkTime(s); document.body.style.overflow = 'hidden'; document.getElementById('time').innerHTML=h+':'+m+':'+s; t=setTimeout('startTime()',500)} function checkTime(i) {if (i<10) {i='0'+i} return i} </script> <style type='text/css'> <!--body {background-color:rgb(200,190,100);margin-left:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom: 0px;} --> </style> </head> <font size='4' face='Arial'> <body style='text-align:left;border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px;scrolling:'no'; onload='startTime()'> <div id='time'></div> </font> </body> </html>”



On iPad & iPhone FM Go Servers, Automatically enter Kiosk Mode
How can I script FileMaker Go to automatically enter Kiosk Mode on iPad?
We need to deploy an App on BYOD, which will be given out to salespeople, but they will only be able to access FM Go in Kiosk Mode.
Problem: Whenever an iPad goes into hibernation or when it's turned off, the Kiosk Mode is terminated and will not launch by itself when the iPad wakes up / is booted up.
We're looking for a Script Trigger that will poll the system every 30 seconds and if it detects a wakeup / bootup, the Kiosk Mode will be launched.
A. See: https://www.howtogeek.com/252670/how-to-put-an-ipad-into-kiosk-mode-restricting-it-to-a-single-app/, which is the solution you're after.
