Hello,

On the Inventory Item form we have a button to view an image of the item. In order to do this we need the itemid. Everything works great in Edit mode but in View mode the itemid is undefined for the currentRecord. Not sure why. Why can’t we get that value in view mode?

function onclick_ViewImage() {

var itmRec = currentRecord.get();

var recid = itmRec.id;

var rectype = itmRec.type;

var itemid = itmRec.getValue({fieldId: ‘itemid’ });

… more code here

}

Thanks,

Karen

In your script you are using two different ways to get the idvar recid = itmRec.id;

and

var itemid = itmRec.getValue({fieldId: ‘itemid’ });

I suspect the first one works but not the second one, is that right? I use a Chrome Extension called NetSuite Field Explorer that is really helpful for finding the actual variable name.

the first one gets the internal id of the record correctly. The second where I try to get the itemid field is undefined. I have tried other fields and they also came back undefined when using getValue in View mode for the currentRecord

[khultquist]

what about using itmRec.itemid instead

Code:
function onclick_ViewImage() {
var itmRec = currentRecord.get();
var recid = itmRec.id;
var rectype = itmRec.type;

var itemid = itmRec.itemid;

}

undefined in view and edit mode

If you need a work-around, you could try using one line of SuiteScript 1.0 in your script as follows:

Code:
window.nlapiGetRecordId()

If anyone else ever has an issue with this it appears you cannot just use the currentRecord.get() to get any data from the record in view mode. Instead you have to actually load the record.

It Looks like this is correct.. “If anyone else ever has an issue with this it appears you cannot just use the currentRecord.get() to get any data from the record in view mode. Instead you have to actually load the record.
”

but can anyone explain why it’s like this?

[benvanderbeek]

Just an attempt at an explanation – maybe in view mode, the record is not considered to have been loaded from a script perspective, since it’s only being displayed. Not a great explanation, but that’s my first guess.

i too had similar experience, in view mode the currentRecord only id and type are supported, rest of the fields are undefined. seems strange and should be available in view mode. imagine having the record in front of you but unable to read. seems like a design flaw. i understand not able to write but atleast read operation should be supported. what is the point of currentrecord if you have to load it again
