Hi Experts,  
I am new to ignition and playing around with vision components.  
I have a Numeric input field which allows a user to edit the value and accept the value only after pressing ENTER button.  
Now i want to have a confirmation dialog box after pressing ENTER key. Numeric field should accept the edited value only after i press Yes in confirmation dialog box. For this i have done below changes in component scripting:

But the observation is that numeric filed is accepting a value and passing it to the tag after pressing ENTER and before confirmation.

Don't use a bidirectional binding directly on the entry field's value. Instead, add a custom property (I would call it `raw`) and move the bidirectional binding to that new property. Then make a unidirectional property binding from the field's value to the custom property.

Add styling to the field to highlight when `raw` and `value` are different. Then, in your confirmation script, or perhaps a "send" button, all you have to do is copy `value` to `raw` after confirmation. You can also support canceling by copying `raw` to `value`.
