Updating entity fields via a server script
I know that you can only update a field if the record is being created or if that field is not stored.
My question is: why?
I have run into several scenarios where it would be helpful if I could update a record field in the "Before Submit" handler and have that value stored in the database. This is especially true if you need to set a value based on data that is not exposed to the client script (like a Job contact list for example).
Are there any plans to allow server script to update ANY field before the record is saved?
