Re: How to check if the user has changed value in the form?

WHEN-DATABASE-RECORD fires when the first change to a record occurs... or more accurately when the record is marked for update.

If you're concerned about a specific field's values, you may need to use a PRE-TEXT-ITEM and save the value before the user has an opportunity to change, then use a POST-TEXT-ITEM trigger verify the field has been changed or not.

FYI: I think :PARAMETER.VarName is cleaner coding than :GLOBAL.VarName for storing variable data specific to a form.

Then user may change this value and update the record, How do I check if the user has changed this value before update? Any hint is appreciated! Thank you in advance!
