How to make a dynamic custom field

I have a delivery options field which uses a custom list of delivery timings. Can I make the the field automatically reduce the options in the list when there are too many deliveries on one option??

Can you provide some more specifics, perhaps with concrete examples of what you’re trying to do? I need to understand what logic would drive this.

Hello,

I do not know how you’d define “too many deliveries on one option” but I hope this information helps.

You can use SuiteScript 2.0 to dynamically create and display a field on a NetSuite form/record.  Ex if on the Project record you wanted a Multi-select field that shows 1-5 options based on availability.  You create a script with the following logic.  Please note this content would need to be added to a beforeLoad User Event script.

var form = scriptContext.form;
//create field
var field = form.addField({id : 'custpage_new_field', type : serverWidget.FieldType.MULTISELECT, label : 'New Field' });
//evaluate each option to see if available.  Can use a for loop
 
//if available, add the value as an option to the new field.  Can use the same for loop
field.addSelectOption({value : '1', text : '1'});
