Is there a way in a workflow action (set field value) to ignore the field change (like you can in suitescript's

record.setValue({})

)?

Have you tried playing around with the Execution Context settings of the Set Field Value?

will do, thanks

Isn’t that the opposite of what @David B needs though? Execution context will allow or prevent the WF action (the set value) from executing at all, but things triggered by it getting set would still happen if it executes, right?

I created a workflow action script, which would've worked, except I could only trigger it before load, before submit or after submit (you can't change the record during before load, and before/after submit was too late). In the end, I just created a client script to do the

setValue()

in the

pageInit

entry point
