Notes
 •
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 trigger fires 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 Changing object data without activating script triggers for a list of other actions that do not activate this script trigger.
