I want to do some verification to the record in UE Before Submit and then if there is something wrong I will show a message to the user and ask them to correct those things. And naturally not to save the record yet. So what would be the best way to do this kind of message? [Edit: Before Load -> Before Submit]

04/06/2020, 1:13 PMYou probably want to use a clientscript to do initial validation so that you don’t lose all changes. It’s a bit of a trade-off with user experience if you do it purely in a UE

04/06/2020, 1:38 PMIf you only want the validation to occur for the user interface, client script saveRecord is usually the way to go

04/06/2020, 1:40 PMuse the currentRecord from the scriptContext to get your fields to validate them, and then use something like alert or N/ui/dialog, or whatever 3rd party module you like.
