06/27/2022, 2:18 PM@Livio... what if I say record.load is EDIT Event Type? Do you believe me? It is frustrating, but it is true...
record.load is EQUAL TO EDIT...

06/27/2022, 2:23 PMbut, if you talk ONLY for User Interface context (Edit/Open(view)), something is wrong with the setup

06/27/2022, 2:24 PMIs your UE script deployment set to a specific Event Type?

06/27/2022, 2:24 PM@Livio could you please make a screenshot of Deployment for the script

creece
06/27/2022, 2:25 PMDoes the script (not the deployment) have "Before Load Function" checked?
creece
06/27/2022, 2:25 PMThe code looks fine

06/27/2022, 2:32 PM.. and for the debug mining, I would put an log.debug before try block (unconditional execution)
Copy code
log.debug(title:'BeforeLoad context', details:context.type)Zoran R-DATAGRAM
06/27/2022, 2:36 PMand how do you know that UE hadn't been triggered, when we see a lot of (too. many if you ask me) debug messages

06/27/2022, 2:54 PM@Livio you should be more precise... You are mixing more than one possible problem
first can be "My userevent beforeLoad is not triggered when is expected"
second can be "setting the value of field does not work in user event beforeLoad"

06/27/2022, 2:58 PMok, from execution log I don't see a problem? I see many, many rows at the same time 10:14am... How do you produce so many user events at the same time? you should see one per record view/edit

06/27/2022, 3:04 PMYou cannot modify fields on existing records in beforeLoad; see the Help page for beforeLoad for details. Here's a snippet of beforeLoad limitations:
beforeLoad user events cannot be triggered when you load/access an online form.
Data cannot be manipulated for records that are loaded in beforeLoad scripts. If you attempt to update a record loaded in beforeLoad, the logic is ignored.
Data can be manipulated for records created in beforeLoad user events.
