I notice a small quirk that caused me some trouble. I can work around
it but was wondering if there is a better way.

I have a custom form that sets some of the user defined fields upon
opening. It does this differently whether it is a new item or existing
item. One of the fields I populate with the name of the current user.

I had a strange problem where my name was showing up on these forms in
production when I never touched it. Apparently what is happening is
when I open the form in design mode the code is executing and
populating this field. Later when I publish the form the field is
prepopulated with my name in that field upon every new instance of the
form.

Is there an easy way to prevent this?

Thank you!
