Tip:

An Entrance Function can optionally receive a type string parameter. Check if the value of this parameter is ‘update’ to determine if the form is being modified.

Note:

This function will return null if called for a form that is being created.

Example

• This example checks to see if the project name has been modified.

                    var oldr = NSOA.form.getOldRecord();
      var newr = NSOA.form.getNewRecord();
      if (oldr.name !== newr.name)
          NSOA.meta.alert("Project name changed to: " + newr.name);
