Script Trigger

[Ertjie]

Im running a script to evaluate whether a field is empty and if so allow anyone to enter a value. If it is not empty only a specific user ID can change the value. My problem is that it seems all the script triggers only evaluate the script after the value is entered and the result is thus always "not IsEmpty = true" even though it is an empty field with new value being entered. Any advice, ideas or help would be greatly appreciated!

Ok just and update: Seems like i was a retard and made a mistake in my script: I used If [ not IsEmpty ( Get(ActiveFieldName))] to determine my values, which obviously always will be not IsEmpty = true as the fields will always have a name! instead i changed it to Get(ActiveFieldContents)...

imho, script triggers are overused. This really ought to be a RLA rule for the privilege set.
