Cancel a user's insert action.
When a SAVE event occurred (from menu or from toolbar) then a special xojoscript is invoked before alteration of an existing record.
From that script one can call AbortUpdate in order to cancel the alteration of an existing record in databox. Special scripts run before occurance of an Insert, Update or Delete to the database. See menu 'Script -> Edit Special Scripts'.
From such a script we can implement customer specific business rules, like not allowing saving of records with incomplete data.
