{run} executes a code block once. It is particularly useful for initializing form variables that you want to manually change later. For example
Formulas vs the run command for setting values
{x=10} {run: y=10}
x is set using a formula which keeps the value always set to 10. This prevents editing the text field: {formtext: name=x}
The run command sets the value of y once. It can then be edited: {formtext: name=y}

The {run} command is often used with the {button} to make interactive interfaces.
