Put "test2" into field "Attendance" of last marked card of stack "Kids"

[Bob Sneidar]

Yup. What you are trying to do is called Enumeration, and is an Applescript feature. Other languages may also have some form of it, but I am inexperienced there. Livecode does very limited enumeration. But since using a repeat loop is really quite fast, especially if when navigating you lock the screen and lock messages, there isn't much of an advantage of building enumeration into the engine.
