artificially causing a field to be left in a script

[Bob Sneidar]

Do you mean click on a button? This works for me if I click on another field or on the card background. It works the way you are seeing it only if I click on a button. We just had a thread about this. Put focus on nothing in the mouseUp handler of your button. This will have the effect of sending closefield to whatever the focused object is.
