RE: In SS2.x, can you set a field value in beforeLoad of a User Event script?
Answered
Hello!
So in a User Event script in the beforeLoad function I need to set a custom Transaction Body Field value, like this:
var newRecord = context.newRecord;
newRecord.setValue({
fieldId: 'custbody_my_custom_field',
value: true // or false
});
Logging the result of the above, I can see the value change, but it does not persist through the entire page load, and always returns to the default state. I have ‘Store Value’ checked on the field’s setup. So, is it just not possible to set a field value in beforeLoad and have that value persist?
Thanks for any help!!
What event mode you want to change the specific custom field.
I tried to change the custom field value in “view” event mode and successfully changed. Using this code block
var newRecord = context.newRecord;newRecord.setValue({fieldId: 'custbody_my_custom_field',value: true // or false});return newRecord.save();
