How to detect form changes in UI Action

[Dev68]

Hi all, 

Would like to know how we can detect if there is any field change on the form, when a UI action button is clicked. 

I tried to use current.changes(); but this is not supported in UI Action, the same with GlideScriptRecordUtil which is not supported for scoped application. 

Regards, 

Ram

You can use this logic for scoped application

It worked well for me earlier

The link was very helpful, it helps to detect the field changes.

Now there is one more issue, we cannot use confrim() in UI Action server side, is there a way out, to throw pop window to save or discard the changes from UI Action.

Hi,

Glad that the link helped.

You cannot show the confirm box in server side and I don't think any other way to handle this
