What is the purpose of the "after field edit" action in a workflow?

The "after field edit" action in a workflow is primarily utilized to change the display characteristics of other fields based on the value of the edited field. When a user modifies a particular field, this action triggers adjustments to related fields, such as making them visible, hidden, or changing their format or requirements. This dynamic interaction enhances user experience by ensuring that users see only the relevant fields based on their inputs, keeping the interface clean and focused.

While displaying a warning message and logging field changes are important functions, they do not directly align with the main purpose of the "after field edit" action within NetSuite workflows. Similarly, initiating a server-side event is handled by different workflow actions and does not pertain to the display characteristics of fields. Understanding this action's role is crucial for creating effective workflows that respond dynamically to user input, thereby improving data entry and process efficiency.
