05/14/2019, 12:41 PMRandom clarification question: if a record form is submitted by clicking save does the user event beforesubmit still complete if they move away from the page after clicking save? I've got a long user event script firing that can't be scheduled and it sits for a long time on the page as "Waiting for...". I'm pretty sure it does as it's server side but I want to make sure. Last thing I want is for them to submit a tonne of info and then accidentally click away to start again.
