Is it already possible to start a process flow when leaving a field a form in edit mode and auto-commit enabled?
I searched in documentation for this and did not find anything.

Hi Harm,
In a test model a while back I did manage to do something like that. The Auto commit saves the row, so if you have a process flow that runs with a Edit row process action, the auto commit then triggers that Edit row process action. Even possible to do this in a loop with, for example, a Generative AI provider process action in that loop.
Method I used was a regular screen, then press the Edit button to start the flow (Edit row), then save to trigger the loop, use a Chat completion, then go back to the Edit row action and map the results. Cancelling the edit will stop the flow.

Mark,
Good suggestion! I tried it, but it doesn’t work, it ends up in a never ending loop.
I think our scenario is slightly different.
Actually, this is wat we want:
Any more suggestions?
+23Strange, I’m quite sure this was a working process flow back then. Currently not sufficient time to test it out. To refresh a detail I would add a Refresh table to the flow above for example. I haven't used auto commit that frequently yet so I don't know the answer I'm afraid.

I will try a few more thinks too. But one more thing I need to be sure of, does auto-commit also work in the Windows GUI?
+23does auto-commit also work in the Windows GUI?
It does not. Only the Universal GUI supports auto-commit.

Ok then, clear, I leave it for now. I assume it will be possible as soon as we move to Universal with this application.
Thanks!
