Symptoms

The following escript code shows different behaviors depending how you save the record.

---------------------------------------------------function BusComp_WriteRecord ()
{
  this.SetFieldValue("target field", "target value");
}
---------------------------------------------------

Case1: Save a modified record by Ctrl+S or 'Save Record' in applet menu

-> The record is saved and then the 'target value' is set to 'target field'. If you step off the record or use 'Ctrl+S' or 'Save Record' again, then the 'target value' is saved.

Case2: Save a modified record by stepping off the record or using 'Edit'->'Change Records' in application menu

-> The record is saved and the 'target value' is discarded ('target value' is not modified).
