Hello everyone, so I want to conditionally cancel selection of specific option in drop-down field on a record. I have all the checks ready and was under impression that you just need to `return false` on `fieldChanged()` entry point to revert drop-down value to the one before change. That doesn't seem to be working though or am I missing something?

<https://system.netsuite.com/app/help/helpcenter.nl?fid=section_4410692508.html|fieldChanged> vs <https://system.netsuite.com/app/help/helpcenter.nl?fid=section_4410693152.html|validateField>

that said pay extra close attention to the notes in validate field regarding select fields

okay, so back to square one - I'm still using `fieldChanged()` , should it work like I said or do I need to manually pull field value to some global variable on pageInit, and then us it to revert drop-down state?

go through the docs on fieldChanged to see if it does anything with the return value

So for future reference - after a check in `fieldChanged()` I do `lookupFields()` on current record id and use returned value to reset drop-down select to it's initial state.

fieldChanged is a void return type, it is not a validation entry point
