Hi.

First, a question: does the input validation formula alters only the front-end document or the front-end and back-end documents?

Second, when the input translation formula runs? I thought that it ran when the user leaves a field, but I'm not sure anymore.

I have the following issue: there is a input validation formula in a names field in a doc type X that changes the name format from CN=Name/OU=bla/O=org to Name/bla/org. The problem is that, when I open a document of this type X (dont need to change it to edit mode) and click a button in another opened doc of type Y that queries docs of the type X, the value of the field mentioned above comes without the input translation formula applied.

I'd like to get the expected behaviour: always get the same value in all fields of documents of type X, regardless if it's opened in Lotus Notes or not.

Thanks in advance.
