has anyone here ever had to use setTimeout() when entering lines via client script? I noticed that item (for example) is not blocking while sourcing, and also, commitLine() isn’t blocking either.

i use it if `forceSyncSourcing`  doesnt fix the problem, usually when doing an ill advised attempt at modifying multiple lines as part of one of the sublist related entry points

The script runs faster with that property specified.. I wonder why they didn’t default to `true` to begin with?

not defaulted `true` with performance in mind?

<@U5375UUJ2> strangely, it’s faster when it’s set to ‘true’

when setting sourced fields, that is, because forceSyncSourcing set to `false` doesn’t prevent sourcing.

im assuming the reason is that syncSourcing means that a synchronous xhr is used to source data

that probably shouldnt be faster than an asynchronous xhr

right - my expectation is you're forced to wait for synchronous sourcing to complete when `true`, else it does it in the background
