I meant that you could have a button accepting new or edited record. Most likely, it comes down to the binding again. 'Details' container fields should be 'bound' to custom 'detail' object properties, not to view/CA/cursor fields. This way user never enters to the grid, your code does it and it may include all needed validations.
