Why would an (onchange) client script pop-up run multiple times upon 'Save/Update' of record?

[coreyo]

I have an 'onChange' on the priority field, client script.  When the priority is changed (record not yet saved) pops up as expected.  When the user goes to 'Save / Update' the record, the pop up fires multiple times.  This is not an onSubmit, so not understanding why?  script below.

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
   if (oldValue != newValue) {
   //Popup asking user to validate the priority change
	   if(!g_form.isNewRecord()){
	   alert('You are changing the priority from ' + 'P' + oldValue + ' to ' + 'P' + newValue + '.  Please indicate in additional comments why the priority was changed and who approved.');
   }
}
}

OnChange client script run onLoad unless you have this in the beginning of your code:

if (isLoading || newValue == '')
        return;
   

then it will only run onChange.

Nice eye. Yea, they took that part out.

Updated my code (the '' isn't necessary on my end), but still firing popups when saving record.

What am I missing?

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
if (isLoading) {
return;
}

if (oldValue != newValue) {
//Popup asking user to validate the priority change
if(!g_form.isNewRecord()){
alert('You are changing the priority from ' + 'P' + oldValue + ' to ' + 'P' + newValue + '. Please indicate in additional comments why the priority was changed and who approved.');
}
}
}

Hmmm . . . your script works fine for me. Only pops up on change. Do you have something else conflicting?
