script trigger on object enter when entered by tabbing

[Mike Tubman]

Hello all,

I am hoping that the fact I don't feel well is why I can't figure this out as I think it should be simple.

I have a script trigger attached to a field OnObjectEnter, however the field is part of a portal row and navigated by the tab order, so when the user tabs out of the previous field, it goes to the field with the trigger, but the script is not triggered. Is this a normal behavior? Must the user "click" into the field for the script to trigger? If so, what other options do I have?

The help states that:

Quote

• If OnObjectEnter is assigned to a portal object, it will activate whenever a different portal row becomes active. Clicking another object in the same portal row will not cause the portal's OnObjectEnter script trigger to activate again.

That said, I am unable to reproduce the behavior you describe - see the attached test.

Hope you feel better.
