Triggers Execute Other Triggers

An action within one trigger procedure may execute another trigger procedure. For example, if a trigger procedure assigns a value to a field and you defined an ASSIGN trigger for that field, that ASSIGN trigger executes. You must carefully design your triggers to avoid conflicts. For example, trigger A could change data, which could cause trigger B to execute. Trigger B could change the same data, a change you did not anticipate or want.
