Description
When no portal is active, the script uses the first portal in the layout stacking order.
This script step tries to keep the same related field selected when changing rows. If no field in a
portal is selected, the script selects the first related field it can enter.
When a related field in a portal is selected, you can use this step to move to the same field in
another portal row. For example, if the third field in the second portal row is selected, Go to Portal
Row [Next] goes to the third field in the third portal row.
