Description
The BeforeEdit event is executed before the data record is updated in the database. It works in all edit modes: Inline Edit, Regular Edit and an Edit page in a popup.
Syntax
BeforeEdit(values, where, oldvalues, keys, message, inline, pageObject)
Arguments
Note: Field names are case-sensitive. If the field name is PlayerId, you should use values("PlayerId"). Note that values("playerid") or values("PlayerID") will not work.
