How to avoid recalculating extra-field on a form

gicif

Hi All,

I have a form based on a table and I added an extra field on this form.
This extra field isn't based on a table; it's a calculated field with my rules implemented in form's OnAfterGetRecord trigger.

It's possible to avoid recalculating the field when I manually change its value on some row?
Actually, when I manually change its value, then exit from the row and then re-enter to the row, recalculated value override manually inserted value


Many Thanks,
gicif

If you manually SET value, you must hold it somewhere. Therefore, you should save it in table. Then you would be able to take values from it, or recalculate if needed. If you enter the data, and do not save it... well, then you just lose it.
