Changing object data without activating script triggers
Bulk operations that may change many records at once will not trigger a script.
Spell checking (Edit menu > Spelling > Check All or the Check Found Set script step) or a Find/Replace (Edit menu > Find/Replace or the Open Find/Replace script step) on more than one record at a time will not activate script triggers.
When you check spelling for all fields in a record or all records in a found set (as in the Check Found Set script step), script triggers will not activate except:
 •
 •
 
Only direct operations can trigger scripts:

Script steps that can change a field directly, such as Set Field, Set Field By Name, and Set Web Viewer will not activate the OnObjectModify script trigger. Script steps that work on a layout object even though their target is specified as a field, such as Insert Text, will activate the OnObjectModify script trigger.

Summary fields and calculation fields:

The OnObjectEnter, OnObjectExit, and OnObjectKeystroke script triggers will activate for summary and calculation fields. The OnObjectModify script trigger can be set for summary and calculation fields, but it will not activate.
