display dialog myValue

There is a difference between ‘field’ and ‘cell’. ‘field’ could more reasonably called ‘column’ since you’re getting all the values from the column fieldName of the target database, thus a list. To get one value from a global field, use ‘cell’.

tell app “FileMaker Pro” to set globalVariableValue to cell globalVariableCell of database 1

is running with cell
Thank you
