NAV 2016 OnValidate trigger doesn't fire if field value is the same

rsaritzky · 2017-08-14

Hi all,

In NAV2009 RTC, if a field has a value (let's say "XXX") and you type in the same exact value "XXX", the table's OnValidate trigger will fire.

In NAV2016 CU5, this appears not to be true - if the value in the field is the same, the OnValidate trigger never fires.

Does anyone know if this was a conscious decision, or perhaps an issue that was corrected in a later CU?

Thanks

Ron

This is the expected behavior since NAV 2013 RTM with no exceptions afaik.
It saves server roundtrips when values don't change in UI. Programmatically this is of course validated every time.

You can add a space before the value to force validation. F2, Space, TAB.
