I am trying to debug what is causing a dirty form alert and the javascript debugger is not giving detailed info.   How else can I see what script is causing this?

The first place I'd check is any onload client scripts associated to the table. There's a chance there's a hidden field that's getting updated while the form is loading. If there's nothing there you could check your UI Policies to see if any have scripts enabled.

Hi Josh,



Possibly a cause of some OnLoad or OnSubmit client script that is updating some field.

Did you find the cause to be something other than an on-load or on-submit script?   I'm having the same issue after modifying a form and not making any changes that would affect the dirty form detection.

For those that stumble on this post in the future, ServiceNow Guru has a great post on how to debug a problem like this.

I could not find where a field was being changed and using the examples here created a simple BR to log the modified field.
