The After Field Edit trigger is a client-side trigger that runs after a user has finished editing a field on a record form. It’s considered a client trigger because it occurs while the record is being edited within the browser. This trigger only activates after a field on the record form has been edited.
When utilizing the After Field Edit trigger for an action, you must also specify the relevant client field in the Client Fields multi-select box. This ensures that when the identified fields are modified, other field values are updated accordingly. For more information on using the Client Fields property and conditional fields with actions, refer to Creating an Action and Using Conditional Fields with Actions.
After Field Edit Trigger Guidelines
Important: Keep the following guidelines in mind when using the After Field Edit trigger:
- For SuiteScript users, the After Field Edit trigger is the workflow equivalent of the
fieldChangedclient event. - For JavaScript, actions on the After Field Edit trigger behave similarly to an
onChangeclient event. When one field changes, it can trigger changes in other fields.
Additionally, actions on an After Field Edit trigger can be triggered by actions on a Before Record Load trigger. For example, if an After Field Edit action is set to execute when Field A changes, and an action on a Before Record Load trigger modifies Field A, the After Field Edit action will execute in response to this change.
