Old-fashioned Script Trigger

[panchristo]

Some years ago, before script triggering was integrated into FM, a great plugin had provided similar functionality, triggered from calculations.

Here's the question:

Do you think the plugin is obsolete now, or is it the fact that it is based on the update of calculations, could be considered as a measure to provide added security to field updating (initiated by such a trigger) done at a table level and not in the layout?

There is no security to field updating via a script - no matter how it's being triggered. If your data integrity depends upon a script running successfully, you should re-examine your approach.

Hmm...True, I think I get your point, however isn't it one step ahead safer? In terms of being updated regardless of the "proper" layout at least...

When talking about security I meant from the data integrity point-of-view

I don't know. I think you are asking which is better: faulty brakes or no headlights.

Hahaha, ok got it. Truly ingenious comment, made me laugh.... :thumbup:

By the way, can it be used for the implementation of an audit log?
