Format 
Commit Records/Requests [Skip data entry validation; No dialog; Force Commit]
Options 
 •
Skip data entry validation overrides any data entry validation options set for fields and commits the record anyway. This option only skips validation for fields set with the Only during data entry validation option in the Options for Field dialog box; fields set to Always validate will still validate, even if the Skip data entry validation option is selected. For more information on field validation, see Defining field validation.
 •
Perform without dialog prevents a dialog box from displaying when the script step executes that asks the user to confirm the commit action.
Note  Perform without dialog only applies when Save record changes automatically is cleared in the Layout preferences.
 •
Override ESS locking conflicts allows clients of ODBC data sources to force-commit changes when optimistic locking otherwise prevents the commit action. ODBC data sources are also referred to as external SQL sources (ESS).
