RE: In SS2.x, can you set a field value in beforeLoad of a User Event script?
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!!
Hi, are you sure there’s no other user event or workflow or client script re-setting the variable after you set it on the first place? I tried this:
/**
* @NApiVersion 2.x
* @NScriptType UserEventScript
* UserEventScript
*/
define([],
function a() {
'use strict';
return {
beforeLoad: beforeLoad
};
function beforeLoad(context) {
context.newRecord.setValue({
fieldId: 'custbody_sample',
value: true,
ignoreFieldChange: true
});
}
}
);
It works, the field is set to true when the sales order finished loading.
Thanks! Yes, I am sure. The field I am attempting to set is a new custom field, not referenced anywhere else. It’s good to know you got the above to work and the only thing I see right off is the `ignoreFieldChange` property. I am pretty new to SS and need to look that up in the documentation; I am not including that, so maybe it is as simple as that!
So I added the ignoreFieldChange property, and this is definitely not setting the value, or rather, the logging shows the same as it has: It sets the value, but then it doesn’t persist and it goes back to its original value. So weird. Wish I knew what was going on
