I hope some one out there can tell me if this is possible, and if not, I hope
that those of you from Apple that see this will incorporate it into your next
release.

THE SITUATION:
I have a card with a field that holds data.  Whenever a user alters any
information in that field, I want the Time/Date field on the card updated to
reflect the time and date of the data alteration.

Checking for mouseClicks and mouseEnters doesn't seem to work in field scripts,
and putting a button behind the data field prevents the user from entering data.

Can any of you out there offer any suggestions on how I might accomplish this?

Thank you for your help.
