How can I permanently change a field in a document by clicking a button on the action bar. This has to be done on the web side, so only a formula or javascript will work. The formula FIELD firstName := "me" changes the field but does not make it permanent.

Change field with Button

Hi,
If You change the field you only change the so called UI-Document (UserInterface). To make the change permanent you have to save the document by @Command([FileSave]). Now the document is saved to the so called backend-document and the change is permanent.

The code which I produced from what you said is:
@Command([EditDocument]);
FIELD ShowAsAltered := "No";
@Command([FileSave]);
This does not work though, when the button is clicked the broswer says the page cannot be displayed. If I remove the final line it works, but the document stays in edit mode and the user can edit any fields which is not good.
@Command([EditDocument]);
FIELD ShowAsAltered := "No";
@Command([FileSave]);
