I am creating a field (button) in a script by choosing the field (button) tool and dragging with the command key modifier. Then I want to set various of the field's (button's) properties. What is the most compact way to refer to the newly created field (button)? I have been assuming (I think safely) that the index of the newly created field (button) is equal to the number of fields (buttons). But that seems a bit round-about, giving rise to the feeling that some special variable like "it" ought to be set appropriately immediately after creating a field (button). Have I missed something?
