I'd use the when_new_record_instance trigger, it fires when the input focus changes from a record to another.
Since you only want to change the properties of a certain record - not of all records in the block - you have to use the built-in 'set_item_instance_property' and not 'set_item_property' or 'set_block_property' to change the 'update_allowed' property. Also you cannot modify the update_allowed property of a _record_ so you have to set this property for all the _items_ in the record/block. Have a look at the online help.

Hope this helps, regards, Joost
