Todd’s Favorite Features of FileMaker 26

10341 - LiveStream - 06.15.2026 - Todd’s Favorite Features of FileMaker 26 -    • Todd’s Favorite Features of FileMaker 26   Todd Geist will be joining us to talk about the features that piqued his interest the most about FileMaker 2026 release, particularly persistent data storage and AI integration capabilities. Todd explained how persistent data works as a new storage area within FMP12 files, separate from schema and record data, allowing developers to store data that survives cloning and data migrations. He demonstrated the configuration process using script steps, showing how to set, get, and delete persistent data values with name-instance ID pairs, and noted that this feature can store text-based data including JSON objects. The discussion covered practical applications like storing value lists, preference settings, and HTML content for web viewers, with Todd emphasizing that this addresses a long-standing need for data that should persist through file updates. Todd also showcased the enhanced Save as XML functionality, which now allows selective catalog exports and can target specific storage areas, making it easier to work with large files and extract only needed components. The latter part of the meeting demonstrated AI coding capabilities using Claude, showing how to use command-line tools installed via FileMaker Server to create patch files that can modify persistent data and update FileMaker files automatically.
