    The first two are for validations before update the record

    aosvalidateupdate is for when you update a table object

    validateupdate is when the table record is updated

    update is for you call the database for update that record

    Hi Danial,

    I don't think there is any method "validateUpdate". There is validateWrite method which is executed when a record is written to the database.

    You can check this link for details regarding all table methods.

    Hi Danial, any of these methods (aosValidateUpdate, validateWrite, update) can be used as a trigger for your code.

    Usually you would want to trigger your code when a record is updated. In that case you should hook your code in update method/event.

    But if you want to add your custom validations before the record is written, then you should hook in validateWrite.
