I am trying to check my online po field to see if it is empty. If it is, I want it to check the check box when the user saves.
Here is what I have so far:
function postSourcing(type){
var onlineID = nlapiGetFieldText('onlinePO');
if(onlineID == null) {
nlapiSetFieldValue('exportCheck', true);
}
}
The error I got was "You have entered an Invalid Field Value true for the following field: exportCheck". The field exportCheck is a custom field check box. Any help is much appreciated!
When using Suitescript - for setting checkbox field use the string 'T' for true and 'F' for false.
nlapiSetFieldValue('exportCheck', 'T');

I added a sublist field on a transaction. For instance a Sales Order. When you add the field via user event script, it positions the field at the end of the sublist. Is there a way to position the field? This can't be accomplished in the UI as the field is added via script. It's a select type field, so I am trying to modify the list values with client script and can only do that if the field is created in my user even script. My code works perfectly fine, it's just the field is at the end of the sublist line(far right and have to scroll). I am using SuiteScript 1.0 but am open to using 2.0 if I need to.
This is for suitescript 2.0
This has sort of turned into two questions so I will give an answer for one and then the solution, for clarity. The short answer is you cannot move a sublist field when created in a user event (however there is a solution to that.)
you can add a sublist field by getting the sublist and using the sublist.addField method.
function beforeLoad(context){
var form = context.form;
var sublist = form.getSublist({
id : 'item'
});
sublist.addField({
id: 'fieldid you want to use for script reference ect.',
type: serverWidget.FieldType.CHECKBOX, //any supported TYPE
label: 'Label users will see in sublist'
});
}
If done this way, there will be a new column on the end of the items sublist that cannot be moved.
To be able to move the location of the column do the following.
Navigate to
Customization
Lists, Records, & Fields
Transaction Line Fields
add a new field and apply to the sublist you want it used on.
you can assign and id which will be prefixed with custcol so start your id with an _ and give it a name.
Once this is complete you can access the field by id and change the value in your user event script before load
function beforeLoad(context){
var form = context.form;
var sublist = form.getSublist({
id : 'item'
});
sublist.setSublistValue({
id: 'customcol_id_created_in_ui',
line: 1, //line you want to access if needing to set all you will have to loop through and set each one.
value: "your value"
});
}
If you go to the API reference and look at the ui/serverWidget module and navigate to sublist you can find all of the methods and options for manipulating sublist there.
In SuiteScript 2.x you would use the N/ui/serverWidget module, create the field and then use the Form.insertField(options) method, passing in the field you created as options.field and the existing field which you want to insert your field before as options.nextfield. Note that Form refers to the form object passed to the user event script in the scriptContext.
i don't believe there is a SS1.0 equivalent.
I have a js fiddle to show the issue that I am facing.
Tabulator 'email' column has freetext set to true to allow the user to set the value of the cell to a free text entry as follows:
editorParams:{
values:{
"steve#boberson.com":"steve",
"bob#jimmerson.com":"bob",
"jim#stevenson.com":"jim",
"harvy#david.com":"Harvy",
"ken#thompson.com":"Ken",
"denny#beckham.com":"Denny"
},
freetext:true,
searchFunc:function(term, values){
console.log("term and val "+term +" \n"+values);
var matchedEntries = {};
var matchFound = false;
for(var key in values) {
if(key.includes(term)){
matchFound = true;
matchedEntries[key] = values[key];
}
}
if(matchFound){
return matchedEntries;
}
else{
return {term: term};
}
}
}}
Select one of the values from the selector list displayed, say steve, value being 'steve#bobberson.com'.
Then after the value is selected, click on the same tabulator cell, the value displayed suddenly changes to the label.When user clicks enter key now, the label is selected instead of the value,.ie. steve will be displayed instead of steve#bobberson.com
If this is not a bug, how do I make sure that the value steve#bobberson.com remains selected after clicking enter. This is because freetext option is set to true in the editorParams of the column
Attached a gif showing the issue
That is not a bug,
With freetext enabled, users are able to enter any text they like in that field and it will be saved which is exactly what is happening in the example
If they select the email address again from the list then it is correctly saved.
It is an either/or scenario, you can either restrict the users to selecting specific values from the list OR you can allow them freetext in which case anything goes.
If you want a different behaviour then you can always build a custom editor that works in the way you want. Checkout the Custom Editor Documentation for more information
I'm trying to add a field to item sublist on sales order record that copies the original value of another field when ever it is changed. It pretty much preserves the previous value of another field. When ever I do a nlapiGetCurrentLineItemValue at Validate field trigger in my client script, it is giving me the new value(changed by user) not the one before changing it. Is there a way to get the value of a field before it is edited at validatefield event in client script? or by any other ways?
function validateFieldChanged(type, name, linenum) {
if (type == 'item' && name == 'custcol_commit_date') {
nlapiSetCurrentLineItemValue('item', 'custcol_last_commit_date', nlapiGetCurrentLineItemValue('item', 'custcol_commit_date'), true,true);
}
return true;
}
I've previously done something similar.
At the top of your script, declare a variable such as var existingValue;
Then in your lineInit function, get the field value and store it in existingValue.
Then when you have your validateField, you compare the be value with the existingValue.
I have a requirement where if the user unchecks the checkbox the vale of certain field should be cleared while he saves it.
To be printed is a checkbox
Check # is field.
If the user unchecks the "To be Printed" checkbox the check # field should be clear while he saves the page.
This should be a user event and will be it be after submit funtion?
How do i achieve this?
Here you have two options to deal with your requirement.
1) You can write a Client script as #John mentioned above on his comment and on field change you can clear out those field values which you don't want to save upon your form submission.
2) Write a before submit function and validate the checkbox field value, if it is unchecked then clear out those fields, which you don't want to save.
I would recommend using user event before submit script to set field value as null, as client script may not fire if data entry point is through csv import, suitescript, etc.
if (nlapiGetFieldValue(TO_BE_SUBMITTED_FIELD_ID) == 'F'){
nlapiSetFieldValue('tranid', null);`
}
If you wish, You may write additional client script to disable/clear the field if value of checkbox is set to false, for better UX.
For sequence number I would say, use the below code (I am assuming sequence numbers are pure numbers)
if (nlapiGetFieldValue(TO_BE_SUBMITTED_FIELD_ID) == 'T'){
//search in descending order (use this code in your same before submit script)
var search = nlapiCreateSearch(RECORD_TYPE, ['mainline', 'is', 'T'], new nlobjSearchColumn('tranid').setSort(true));
var results = search.runSearch();
var records = results.getResults(0, 1);
var nextTranId = praseInt(records[0].getFieldValue('tranid'), 10) + 1;
nlapiSetFieldValue(tranid, nextTranId);
}
I am updating some list items through code.
Here is an example of what I am trying to do
SPListItem item = GetListItem();
item["Field1"] = GetField1ValueFromControl();
item["Field2"] = GetField2ValueFromControl();
item.Update();
if (!item.MissingRequiredFields)
{
SuccessRedirect();
}
else
{
Error("Fields missing");
}
In this example the Field2 is set as a required field, so if the user doesn't enter a value then it would show an error and they could enter a value.
The problem I seem to be having is that after the first error, even after they have entered a value for the required field the MissingRequiredFields property is still returning true after they have resubmitted the page
Any one got any ideas?
I worked this out.
You need to use the Page.IsValidated method to check the controls.
The item will always update whether the required fields are entered or not.
The MissingRequiredFields is not valid until after the update.
