- a user presses the Enter key
- a user clicks the layout outside of the activated record after the record has been modified
- script steps that move focus to a different record if the previous record was modified

Notes
- In a portal that displays records from a related table, moving from record to record inside a portal does not cause a commit; those changed records are committed when the focus leaves the main record to which they are related.
- This script trigger activates only when there are uncommitted record changes.
- Exiting a record that had keyboard focus activates this script trigger only when the record being exited was changed.
- See Actions that don't activate script triggers for a list of other actions that do not activate this script trigger.
