Sorry, yes, that one.

There are some "preview" operations that run the prepare code on the
assumption that nothing will change.  In such circumstances, your custom
field would be set even before someone hits the "Update" button.  It's
always best not to have the Prepare code make any changes.

The "cleanup" box should probably be renamed, since everywhere else it
seems to be known as "commit."  The distinction would be clearer.

The commit code won't run unless the prepare code returns a true value, so
in that box you could write "1;" to ensure that the commit code always runs.
