Does anyone know of a way to change the color of all variable text fields at one time? 

I have a job with A LOT of variable text fields. Rather than manually changing the colors, I was hoping that I could build an on RecordStartRule that will change the color of all the variable fields, I can do a spot check on the output. When ready, I'd be able to turn off the rule and the original colors in the document would be used.  

I created the OnRecordStart rule below but it didn't work. Anyone have any ideas? 

if (((((((((((((((((((((Field("F1") != "") || (Field("F2") != "")) || (Field("F3") != "")) || (Field("F4") != "")) || (Field("F5") != "")) || (Field("F6") != "")) || (Field("F7") != "")) || (Field("F8") != "")) || (Field("F9") != "")) || (Field("F10") != "")) || (Field("F11") != "")) || (Field("F12") != "")) || (Field("F13") != "")) || (Field("F14") != "")) || (Field("F15") != "")) || (Field("F16") != "")) || (Field("F17") != "")) || (Field("F18") != "")) || (Field("F19") != "")) || (Field("F20") != "")) || (Field("F21") != ""))
{
   return "<span>" + "<color name=\"Variable\">" + "</span>";
}

You can do this by overwriting the values of the fields with FusionPro.Composition.AddVariable

var fields2change = ["F1","F2","F3","F4","F5","F6","F7","F8","F9","F10","F11","F12","F13","F14","F15","F16","F17","F18","F19","F20","F21"];

for (var i in FusionPro.Fields)
{
	if (fields2change.indexOf(i) > -1 && FusionPro.Fields[i] != "")
		FusionPro.Composition.AddVariable(i, '<span><color name="Red">' + FusionPro.Fields[i] + '</span>', true);
}

In this example, first list out the field names you want to change, then loop through all the fields searching for just the ones you want to change and if they contain a value. If you find one, then you change the value using FusionPro.Composition.AddVariable to the color you want, in this case I used "Red".
