Keep the agent setup page source temporary until Update

Description

ConfigurationDialog setup is a draft: the user can Cancel without writing. That only works if SourceTableTemporary = true and custom fields stay in memory until Update. Writing the real table in OnValidate or OnOpenPage commits a partial agent when the dialog errors or is cancelled.

Best Practice

Mark the page SourceTableTemporary = true. Copy into the temp record on open. Persist the Agent Setup buffer and custom fields only from the close path when the action is not Cancel, using Agent Setup.GetChangesMade / SaveChanges.

See sample: agent-setup-source-table-is-temporary.good.al.

Anti Pattern

A non-temporary source table, or Insert/Modify on the persisted setup row from field OnValidate. Detection signal: agent ConfigurationDialog without SourceTableTemporary = true, or database writes before Update.

See sample: agent-setup-source-table-is-temporary.bad.al.
