i am new to Netsuite and custom seraches, and need some help.
I am creating a new custom search in Netsuite, to be viewed under the Project details.
The view basically shows some data aggregation of timings and resource assignment. I also added a Criteria in order to let the user select a target project. What i would like to do, is to automatically set the search criteria for the "current project" when using the view in the Project Details form. can anybody help me? I tried to search for a while, but i cannot see, under criteria definition, a variable like "selected project".
Any help is appreciated.
In the Available Filters subtab of your saved search, add Project as the first filter.
You can find more details under "Saved Searches for Custom Sublists" in the Help Center.
and thanks everyone for replying. It came out that the issue was trying to set up a criteria to put in place the filter.
Once removed the criteria, opening the view from a project actually did the trick.
What mislead me was that while previewing the results, i was able to see every project. That's why i added the criteria.
I have a problem deleting a custom field from a vendor in NetSuite. When I try to delete it I get the following error message.
This custom field cannot be deleted because it is referred to by other custom fields
I've looked at many of my other custom fields and columns but I can't find any that are referencing this one. Is there a way to find all fields that refer to a particular custom field?
This is because you might be using this custom field value some where else. I'm not sure if there is any inbuilt functionality to identify the other fields which are being referred by your custom field. I had a similar issue but I solved it using mass update. I set that field value for all the vendor as blank then I was able to delete the custom field.
In case it is a custom list field then follow the steps bellow :
First delete the list from Setup > Customization > Transaction Item Options, then from the Custom Item Fields and then finally from the Custom Lists
To narrow down the list of fields to check, go to Customization->Lists, Records & Fields->Entity Fields. Sort that list by the Vendor column. That is the list that needs to be checked. Open each of these fields, and check that the 'Field' under the 'Validation and Defaulting' tab is not your custom field that you want to delete. Then check the values on the 'Sourcing and Filtering' tab as well.
Good luck, and hopefully there is not too many vendor fields to check this way!
In short:
I'm trying to filter an XSLTListViewWebPart based on what is selected in another XSLTListViewWebPart. Using a String field as connection this is working fine. Using a hyperlink field no data is displayed.
In more detail:
I have two lists, say Accounts and Projects. Both have a hyperlink field accountURL.
All accounts have different accountURLs. Different projects can have the same value for accountURL. Both are displayed on a page using the XSLTListViewWebPart.
The simple goal is to filter the Projects list based on which item is selected in the Accounts list using the accountURL field. So I established a web part connection using the acountURL as a filter. Alas, when an item in the Accounts list is selected no items are showwn in the Projects list although I double checked that there are matching values.
When using a string field instead of a hyperlink field for accountURL everything works like a charm. Problem is, I need the hyperlink field.
Is this desired behaviour? Do you have any suggestions for a workaround?
(I already tried converting the hyperlink field to a string field via a calculated column which did not work out either.)
All was and is to be done in the web interface or SP-Designer. Coding a WSP is not an option for this problem. As I'm not quite familiar with the correct terminus technicus I use field and column interchangeably.
All help is greatly appreciated.

Someone on the Microsoft forum suggested the following workaround which does its job well:
Add a hidden text column to both lists.
Use a workflow which is triggered on item creation and update to copy the value of the hyperlink column to the hidden text column.
Connect both webparts using the hidden column as filter.
Nonetheless, I still wonder whether it is possible to use hyperlink columns or other special columns for filtering. I also had the problem that I cannot use a person column as lookup.
Does anyone know if whether there ist some kind of overview
which column types can be used for filtering/formulas/lookup/...?
Cheers,

Hey guys, just wondering if their is a simple way to create an Item in a custom list but i need that item to be dynamic. The user can click add more to get another field that would hold the same type of data an unlimited amount of time.
If i could even just add an excel spreadsheet type of field that would work also. But excel wouldnt need to be a requirement on the users machine.
I thought i had read somewhere you could do this using info path but i cant seem to find anything relating to it on google.
The InfoPath feature is called a "repeating section". There is information on how to set that up in Office Online.
If you wanted to achieve this entirely in SharePoint, the problem is that there can only be a fixed number of fields in a list. So you could create as many that would ever be used and just display all of those. Or to make it much nicer for the user incorporate jQuery to hide all of the fields except the first one and provide a button for them to click that unhides the next one.
There is good information on how to access list form fields using jQuery in the question How can I set the default value in a SharePoint list field, based on the value in another field?
Has anyone ever made a sharepoint lookup column that allows fill inn choices and does writeback to the list it does lookup from? what would it take to make such a column?
If a 3.rd party solution is arround that would be realy great to :)
Cheers!
You'll need to create a custom field type:

On a project i've worked on we used a TagControl FieldType, with an entry field and a multiple select field. A user could enter a new Tag or select an existing one. If you are interested, i could send you the code.
