What about having the filter that displays the message set a temp field to a specific value. Then have the AL that fires on after submit only fire if that field has that value...and close the form

I've got an AL that does what I want as far as window management, but if I have it fire on 'Modify' it fires before the request gets saved, and the user gets the error about closing the window before they've saved. If I have fire 'After Modify' I can't figure out how to tell the AL that we've just set this request to 'Complete' and close the window, without having it also fire any other time we modify and save a 'Complete' request.
