Question

Property events

Hi Arg, 
 I would expect that the event would fire even if the value was being populated from a search dialog. I'll file this as an issue internally. For the time being, I'd recommend finding an alternative approach to accomplish the same functionality you're looking for. 
 If you're trying to do some kind of validation of the data, it might be better to simply limit the items that a user can select from in the search dialog. You can look at this blog post for some examples of how to do this kind of filtering of a search dialog. 
 It might also be better to handle this inside of an onBefore or onAfterUpdate server event. Using a server event will also help run the logic if the item ever gets edited from some other server method or from another application.

Hello, 
 The Property events inside of Innovator are client-only events that trigger whenever a user edits the property through a field on a form or through a cell in a grid. I've found the best way to determine when exactly these events are triggered is to throw a debugger; statement into the JavaScript method you attach and open the browser developer tools (typically launched by pressing F12). You can then edit a property using either of the options listed above to see exactly when the property is triggered. 
 Just based on your description, my guess is that the OnEditFinish event is going to be best suited for your use case. However, could you elaborate a bit more on exactly what you'd like this method to do?
