Hi,

What version of ServiceNow are you doing that test on? Our posts were back in 2019 and at that time, the script section did run beforehand. There's another thread where I even posted information, exact script(s) and screenshots, but I can't find it off right away.

With that said, ServiceNow could have adjusted the timing. I'd recommend running that a few times, just to see if you get the same result and try changing it up from setting a field read only, but perhaps mandatory and checking for asterisk.
