i need to pick a field from item master record. The item type is sometimes service item and sometimes itemgroup. There is some issue in record 'type' and 'id'. Please help.
My Code:
var govFeeFieldInside = search.lookupFields({
type: search.Type.ITEM,
id: item_,
columns:
[
'custitem2'//govFeeInItemMaster
]
});
lookupFields is only for body-level fields. To retrieve sublist data from any record, you will need to either perform a search or load the record.

Within Customization -> List, Records & Fields -> Custom Records I have a table with id: customrecord_{name} with the type "customrecordtype". I have multiple fields in that record
How can I use the load function to get all the data for this table/record? (For all the fields)
const data= record.load({
type: 'customrecord_{name}',
isDynamic: false
... //get all fields
});
I tried to look at the help center but am a bit lost on how to accomplish this.
As far as I know load won't do it. After loading a custom record with load, you can check all the fields of this custom record by calling data.getFields() method. This will return a list of field ids (including custom ones) that you can fetch by calling data.getValue such as data.getValue({'fieldId':'isinactive'}) // a regular field or data.getValue({'fieldId':'custrecord_routeproduce_highpriority'}) // a custom field
loading a custom record, checking its fields, fetching value of a custom field
I have a search in SuiteScript 2.0 that's working fine. But for each record the search brings back, I want to update a particular field (I use it elsewhere to determine that the record has been examined). It's potentially a very large result set, so I have to page it. Here's my code:
var sResult = mySearch.runPaged({pageSize: 10});
for (var pageIndex = 0; pageIndex < sResult.pageRanges.length; pageIndex++)
{
var searchPage = sResult.fetch({ index: pageRange.index });
searchPage.data.forEach(function (result)
{
var name = result.getValue({ name: "altname"})
result.setValue({
name: 'tracker',
value: new Date()
})
});
}
You can see where I have a call to result.setValue(), which is a non-existent function. But it shows where I want to update the 'tracker' field and what data I want to use.
Am I barking up the wrong tree entirely here? How do I update the field for each result returned?
As Simon says you can't directly update a search result, but you can use submitFields method.
This example is from NetSuite documentation:
var otherId = record.submitFields({
type: 'customrecord_book', //record Type
id: '4', // record Id
values: {
'custrecord_rating': '2'
}
});
This approach will save more governance than load and save the record.
AFAIK You can't directly update a search result and write the value back to the record, the record needs to be loaded first. The snippet doesn't say what the type of record it is you're searching for or want to load, but the general idea is (in place of your result.setValue line):
var loadedRecord = Record.load({type:'myrecordtype', id:result.id});
loadedRecord.setValue( {fieldId:'tracker', value: new Date() });
loadedRecord.save();
Keep in mind SuiteScript governance and the number of records your modifying. Load & Save too many and your script will terminate earlier than you expect.
Bad design: instead of using result.setValue inside the iteration, push those to an "update" array then after the data.forEach have another function that loops thru the update array and processes them there with record.submitFields()
Be careful of governance....
I am trying to find out if I can pull a sublist without loading the main record. It seems wasteful when all I need is the sublist and I don't get the sublist back with a saved search. search.lookupFields only gives access to body fields which is so very close. I would like to pull a specific sublist is this possible? Thanks in advance for any help.
Sublists in NetSuite are actually records which are linked through some field(like joins in SQL). Being said that, you can use join property in search.createFilter, search.createColumn, searchResult.getValue etc and pass the common field to it while the name parameter will contain the fieldId of the field that you want to fetch the value of.
Eg to fetch item data from salesorder, you can run the following code
var salesOrderSearchResult = search.create({
type: 'transaction,
filters: search.createFilter({
name: 'internalid',
join: 'item',
operator: 'is',
values: ITEM_INTERNAL_ID
}),
columns: search.createColumn({ name: 'itemid', join: 'item' })
}).run().getRange({ start: 0, end: 100 });
// to fetch results
salesOrderSearchResult.forEach(function (searchResult) {
var itemId = searchResult.getValue({ name: 'itemId' ,join: 'item' });
})
I am learning my way around MongoDB data types and the best way to use documents and Schemas through Mongoose.
I've defined a couple of Schemas for a Navigation bar object which stores the navigation items as a list, and each item is defined by a schema with the properties name, type, url, and a list of drop downs if it has any (if the type is "dropdown").
Here are those Schemas:
var navSchema = new Schema({
id: String,
items: [Schema.ObjectId]
});
is the nav object, and
var navItemSchema = new Schema({
name: String,
type: {type: String, default: "link"},
url: {type: String, default: null},
dropdowns: {type: [Schema.ObjectId], default: null}
});
is the nav item schema, but each nav item can potentially have dropdowns, and so the dropdowns is a list of nav items, which can also potentially have dropdowns. But in this case, only a few do.
Now to create the data for these objects, I have to do something like this to create a nav item, example for "home"
var home = new navItem({
name: "home",
url: "/home"
});
but for items with dropdowns, I have to define all the items I know will be dropdowns before defining list which includes those items, and then defining the parent item and using the list with those items I just defined. Like this
var allAccessories = new navItem({
name: "all accessories",
url: "/accessories"
});
var cushions = new navItem({
name: "cushions",
url: "/accessories#cushions"
});
var cupHolders = new navItem({
name: "cup holders",
url: "/accessories#cupholders"
});
var accessoriesDropdownItems = [
allAccessories,
cushions,
cupHolders
];
var accessories = new navItem({
name: "accessories",
type: "dropdown",
dropdowns: accessoriesDropdownItems
});
So, I assume I'm doing that right..? My only gripe with this method is that in my nav.js file where I create this mongodb object/collection, I have to think about what items are going to be used in dropdowns of other items, and so I have to theoretically order them to be defined before the other variables are defined in the document.
But if I then want to use an item in two dropdown lists, and one of those dropdownlists I happened to have already defined above it in the document but now want to add to. I have to move the item definition above anywhere it's used, this ruins the organisation of the document..
But I'm okay with physically indenting to keep my work organised and sorted.
My question is how do I actually access properties of objects within lists of other objects.
Straight up I define Nav as simply an object with an id, "nav" because I don't want to use its _id ObjectId to reference it all the time...? And an items array which contains the navItemsSchema objects.
But when I try to reach into these objects through mongo shell using something like
db.navs.find({items: {$elemMatch: {name:"home"}}})
Or
db.navs.find({items: ObjectId("58d5d6df0789f718460ff278")})
Or
db.navs.find({items:{ "name" : "home"}})
I can't get any data back.. I have successfully manage to return all objects in the collection through the node app via responding found nav in navs
app.get('/nav', function(req, res) {
mongoose.model('nav').find(function(err, nav) {
res.send(nav);
});
});
But all this returns me is a data structure with object id's and not the actually data of the objects.
{"_id":"58d5d6df0789f718460ff287",
"id":"nav","__v":0,
"items":
["58d5d6df0789f718460ff278",
"58d5d6df0789f718460ff279",
"58d5d6df0789f718460ff286",
"58d5d6df0789f718460ff281",
"58d5d6df0789f718460ff282",
"58d5d6df0789f718460ff283",
"58d5d6df0789f718460ff284"
]
}
Could you please help me understand how I reach into these data hierarchies via say db.navs.nav("nav").items.findAll() and it lists all the items and their json?
Or is this not possible and you need to loop through all items, then. Wait, where are the objects stored corresponding to ObjectId's in the items list?
So I actually figured it out myself. I was using type: [Schema.ObjectId] (ie. type was a list of Schema.ObjectIds) but I didn't know that that automatically parses the inputted list of objects and extracts just their ObjectId's and stores them, all I need to do was make the type: [] (ie. just a list) and then I can traverse my nav object simply by... Oh wait, for some reason when mongoose nav.saves my nav it becomes an object inside a list. So when I mongoose.model('nav').find(function(err, nav) {} it gives me a nav object which I need to use via nav[0].items[0].name Or I can go nav = nav[0] but I wish I didn't need to do this step? Maybe there's an answer but yes. Otherwise. This is the solution I was looking for.
In my User Event script I am adding a field to the form and I would like to add it to the Primary Information field group. What is the internal id of the group? I've tried primaryinformation but that's not correct. I can't see a method of iterating field groups and fields in the API to figure it out.
Does anyone know?
I am using SS2.
var field = scriptContext.form.addField({
id: 'textfield',
type: serverWidget.FieldType.TEXT,
label: 'Text',
container: '**primaryinformation**' <--
});
From inspecting the DOM of the form, it looks like they are randomly generated identifiers in the form fieldGroupXX.
As an alternative, you could try using form.insertField(options) to place your field in the desired Field Group.
