RE: Script is not functioning to avoid duplicate record creation when record is imported via CSV
Hi,
I have created script to throw error message if user tries to create duplicate custom record. Script trows error when user tries to create duplicate record. But when I am trying to import records through CSV import, duplicate record gets created.
Anyone knows reason? I will appreciate your help. Thanks!
Here is my script
/**
*@NApiVersion 2.x
*@NScriptType UserEventScript
*/
define([‘N/record’, ‘N/email’, ‘N/url’, ‘N/runtime’, ‘N/search’, ‘N/ui/serverWidget’,’N/error’],
function(record, email, url, runtime, search, serverWidget,error) {
function beforeSubmit(scriptContext){
if(scriptContext.type === ‘create’ || scriptContext.type === ‘edit’ ){
try{
var rec=scriptContext.newRecord;
log.debug(“rec”,rec);
var recType=rec.type;
log.debug(“recType”,recType);
/*var recordId=record.id;
log.debug(“recordId”,recordId);*/
var category=rec.getValue({ fieldId:’custrecord_gbs_tren_cat’});
log.debug(“category”,category);
var exemptNexus=rec.getValue({ fieldId:’custrecord_gbs_tren_expt_nexus’});
log.debug(“exemptNexus”,exemptNexus);
//throw error.create(“You cannot create duplicate record”);
var searchResultCount;
var customrecord_gbs_tax_rule_expt_nexusSearchObj = search.create({
type: “customrecord_gbs_tax_rule_expt_nexus”,
filters:
[
[“custrecord_gbs_tren_cat”,”anyof”,category],
“AND”,
[“custrecord_gbs_tren_expt_nexus”,”anyof”,exemptNexus]
],
columns:
[
search.createColumn({name: “internalid”, label: “Internal ID”})
]
});
searchResultCount = customrecord_gbs_tax_rule_expt_nexusSearchObj.runPaged().count;
log.debug(“customrecord_gbs_tax_rule_expt_nexusSearchObj result count”,searchResultCount);
customrecord_gbs_tax_rule_expt_nexusSearchObj.run().each(function(result){
// .run().each has a limit of 4,000 results
return true;
});
log.debug(“searchResultCount”,searchResultCount);
}catch(error)
{
log.error(‘error’,error)
}
/*}
if(category==category2 && exemptNexus==nexus2)
{
throw ‘A record with the same name already exists.’;
// return false;
}
else{
var recId=rec.save();
log.debug(“recId”,recId);
}*/
}
if(searchResultCount>0)
{
throw ‘You cannot create a duplicate record.’;
}
}
//}//function dupcheck
return {
beforeSubmit:beforeSubmit
}
});
I would suggest you add some logging to see if the script is running at all.
Also, could you share your script deployment settings.
