Can Dialogs remember last used settings?

[tusharde]

I have a script that launches a dialog. A user can pick a few dropdown and checkbox options. Is there a way to store the last used settings for the next time the dialog pops up? Do native indesign dialogs have this functionality?

Thanks

There's no built-in scriptUI way of saving settings. But you can store

the user's setting in a document label:

myDoc.insertLabel("MySpecialScriptDropdown1", DropDown1SelectionAsString);

Hi,

if working with a database and documents built dynamically a good old cfg-file may be the choice ...
