Edit Document Fields 6.0.0
I never thought that this tool would have such a history, but it is still saves me time every day. I am really exited about this release because a history of the values is being kept. This history will now be selectable in the prompt when entering a new value. The error handling and messages have also greatly improved.

Changes
- Added the following new data type/actions:

- Trim then Unique
- Added history to prompts. All prompts that where edits are now edit combo a history of ten values will be kept. Use 'cFieldHistoryValues' to set the amount of history to keep.
- Added prompt before updating documents to confirm what is going to happen. Set 'cEnableConfirmation' constant to @False to disable this feature. This information will always be printed to the status bar.
- All constants start with c, some can be customized as noted.
- Improved error message when validating the entered formula.
- Improved error message when executing the operation on a document.
