What causes the command bar buttons 'Save' and 'Done' to be greyed out?

It´s possible to create invalid button behavior by doing certain things in a way Innovator didn´t expect to happen. This one depends a bit on the Innovator version.

Your variant looks like you are doing an edit but never claimed the item or you somehow created a good old dirty item.

What do you want to do in the first place? Just change a certain property in the Form? In this case, classic window.handleItemChange is still the way to go. It cares for DOM and Form update all at once.

The goal is to update the form without the user needing to do anything - .apply() only half works since it updates the DB but the form will stay the same until they know to click the refresh

Its running in CUI button press (from within a main form's ellipsis), so window.handleItemChange, a method which I can't find in the code tree, appears not to be available?
