That is the legal term. If a line of questioning in court continues to raise the same objection and the court overrules it, you can ask for a "continuing objection to [description of nature of question/conduct you object to]." If the judge grants it, you're good (as far as preserving error on appeal). If the judge does not grant a continuing objection, you need to keep making it.

What does the term sustained mean in court?
"Sustained" is one of the two possible rulings on an objection raised by one of the attorneys. If an attorney asks an improper question, or a witness gives an inappropriate answer, the attorney for the opposite side (or, in the case of the inappropriate answer, the attorney asking the question) will object. The judge can then sustain the objection, saying "The question (or answer) is improper," or say the objection is "overruled"," meaning the question is proper and the witness may answer, or the witness' answer is accepted and the attorney should ask his next question.
