In Open UI, Code In the PM/PR Based on Binding to FieldChange Is Executing Multiple Times. (Doc ID 1577790.1)

Symptoms

Used code to add a Function OnFieldChange that is bound to the internal vanilla FieldChange Method.  The OnFieldChange function is firing multiple times each time a field is modified.  Although the example code here is based on early implementations of Open UI, the overall issue and solution continue to apply to Open UI PM/PR execution.

Test Case:

[Presentation_Model]
Service Request Detail Applet=SRAppletPM

[Physical_Renderer]
Service Request Detail Applet=SRAppletPR


<KEY Name="SRAppletPM">
       <FILE_NAME> siebel/applet.js    </FILE_NAME>
       <FILE_NAME> siebel/pmodel.js    </FILE_NAME>
       <FILE_NAME> siebel/custom/SRAppletPM.js   </FILE_NAME>
      </KEY>


<KEY Name="SRAppletPR">
       <FILE_NAME> siebel/phyrenderer.js                                </FILE_NAME>
       <FILE_NAME> siebel/custom/SRAppletPR.js                          </FILE_NAME>
                       </KEY>
