Description
Navigates among the rows in the active portal. When no portal is active, the script uses
the first portal in the layout stacking order.
Go to Portal Row 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.
