02/26/2019, 6:52 PMHow do I trigger committing a sublist line only if it's been modified? I want to do the same thing that the 'Save' button does, but if I just blindly call commitLine() then if the line is blank it complains about validation since obviously none of the required fields are filled in.

02/26/2019, 7:23 PMYes, this is triggered from a button

02/26/2019, 7:34 PMi dont suppose you can just be mean and cancel the current line and then do your logic

02/26/2019, 7:40 PMthe alternative is a client script that keeps track of changed lines in the fieldsChanged and sublistChanged entry points

02/26/2019, 8:19 PMYeah, I'd rather not just cancel the line item. I was hoping there was a call I'd overlooked like record.isLineChanged() but I guess not. Thanks for the advice.

02/26/2019, 11:02 PMAfter discussing it I ended up committing the line if it has an item filled in, otherwise cancelling. That way it takes care of the main case of filling in the whole thing but forgetting to hit add, without adding a big pile of logic around keeping track of if it's been modified.
