Prompt Table in PeopleSoft Why Prompt Table Edit does not get triggered when a value is changed through PeopleCode? Why Prompt Table Edit does not get triggered when a value is changed through PeopleCode? This happens because a FieldDefault event on a new row of data does not trigger FieldEdit and FieldChange events due to Performance reasons . So, the Invalid Value message from the prompt table edit check will not happen when an invalid value is entered through peoplecode however, when the user types an invalid value the FieldEdit and FieldChange events get triggered and the Invalid Value message gets displayed. So it is left to the programmer to assign right values to the prompt field in FieldDefault. One better approach is to make use of the ExecuteEdits() method and the IsEditError property to make sure only right values are assigned to the record field with Prompt Edit. Sample Code: &RECORD.ExecuteEdits(%Edit_PromptTable);
If &RECORD.IsEditError Then
Error "Prompt Table Edit failure";
End-If;
