If the fields you want to change are part of (or is entirely) the table's primary key (like e.g. the No. field in the Item table), then in fact you are going to rename the record.

If you touch non PK fields only, then it is a common modify.

The OnRename trigger works only when Primary key is (renamed/changed) whereas the OnModify trigger works on CRUD operations on a table record, field(on all type of keys).
