I don’t know if this is possible, but long story short I need to add a scripted field which replaces a custom field when the record is in edit mode. The custom field has been assigned to a specific field group on the form, so I’d like to put the scripted field in the same field group.

I know you can supply a “container” internal ID when creating the scripted field, but it seems it only works with field groups created using the form.addFieldGroup API. If this isn’t possible, would it be possible to move custom fields (created in SuiteBuilder) to a scripted field group?

Does it have to be scripted? We’ve accomplished this by showing/hiding fields with a workflow.

Unfortunately it does. I need to pull an address through from a related entity on a custom record, so we’re storing the entity ID in one field, the address ID in another custom field and then populating the address from the entity in a beforeLoad script.

We accomplished this by putting a field on the form that the script populates and unhides with a BRL script. That was the only way we could get it exactly where we wanted it.

See, now I’m wondering why I didn’t think of that. What a simple, elegant solution.

Thanks!
