Description
The BeforeEdit event is executed before the data record is updated in the database. It works in all edit modes: Inline Edit, Regular Edit and an Edit page in a popup.
Syntax
BeforeEdit($values, $where, $oldvalues, $keys, $message, $inline, $pageObject)
Arguments
Note: Field names are case-sensitive. If the field name is PlayerId, you should use $values["PlayerId"]. Note that $values["playerid"] or $values["PlayerID"] will not work.
Note: If the field was assigned an alias in the SQL query, then the $values array will get the alias instead of the field name from the database.
E.g., if you have an SQL query SELECT salesrep_id AS Inv_Salesrep ..., you should use $values["Inv_Salesrep"].

$where
WHERE clause that points to the record to be copied. Example: ID=19.
$oldvalues
an array with existing field values. To access a specific column value, use $oldvalues["FieldName"]
$keys
