Intermittently onChange client script is executed multiple times( onLoad as well).

KB Summary by Now Assist

Issue

When there is an onChange client script, intermittently after submitting the form this client script triggered ( twice or sometimes multiple times).

Release

All

Cause

The issue is because of the live forms ( record watcher) - even when only one user is viewing the form.

Resolution

Using g_form.isLiveUpdating()  in the client script to check for executing will resolve the issue.
