Refresh on Key Press

This is probably an odd question:

Is there a way to automatically refresh a client form on every key-press while entering data into a field?

You could, of course, enable the form property to “Automatically refresh fields” but this will cause the document to constantly refresh while it’s being edited and is generally not great for performance. If it’s a small form, this might be a non-issue though.

If you only want the document to refresh when a particular field is being changed, there might be other/better ways to do it, but this works:

Make the field in question a keyword field.

Enable the option to “Allow values not in list”.

Enable the option to “Refresh fields on keyword change”.

If you want to simulate a “regular” text field, disable the option to “Display entry helper button” on the field.
