Hi everyone, We have some workflows that calculate/populate fields based on data entered in another field. We are still in implementation, and the workflows were created by our consultants in Sandbox. The problem is that the fields are not populated until the record is saved. Our users need this information in real time as they continue to create/edit the record. To me, it seems obvious that we need to use After Field Edit and that his will display the required information in real time. Is this correct, and if so are there some performance trade-offs that I'm not aware of? I know a client script could do the same thing, so which might be better?

You cannot do calculations between fields using client triggers in workflows. It requires a server trigger (After Submit, Before Submit, etc) because the calcuation engine runs on the netsuite servers. You would need to make a Client script to do calucations in realtime

Got it, thanks!

This depends on what kind of calculation you are talking about. If it is getting value from field A and let's say multiplying it with value from field B. Then it could be possible.
