View the example script mentioned here:

It shows how to see which field the user interacted with and how to trigger a specific routine based on that.

Using the PATH_MUST_EXIST flag for the fields and calling your path validation when the next button is clicked is not what you need?

Would Spacedater have to make his own path validation or is their a function that does this?

You'll need to verify the path yourself in the the page's leave function. If path is not valid, call 'abort' to return to the page.
