Hello!

Now we are trying to update several custom fields of a custom record. We have been able to add the custom records no problem but getting a “java.lang.NullPointerException” every time we try to update the record in SuiteTalk and not sure what is wrong or what is null.

Here is our code for updating

CustomRecord pbMaster = new CustomRecord();

pbMaster.internalId = “79”;

StringCustomFieldRef stringCustomFieldRef = new StringCustomFieldRef();

stringCustomFieldRef.scriptId = “custrecord_pe_pbmastertrackno”;

stringCustomFieldRef.value = txtMasterTrackno.Text.Trim();

CustomFieldRef[] customFieldRef = new CustomFieldRef[1];

customFieldRef[0] = stringCustomFieldRef;

pbMaster.customFieldList = customFieldRef;

_service = new NetSuiteService();

setPassport(); // Set the Passport information for authentication

WriteResponse writeResponse = _service.update(pbMaster);

Just learning here. Used this example from NetSuite to build this

https://netsuite.custhelp.com/app/an…custom%20field

Not sure what I forgot to set or what I did wrong.

Thanks!

Hello Karenn,

In the code you only specified the custom record you wants to update, not the custom record type. You have to mention the both. Please refer following code –

CustomRecord customRecord = new CustomRecord();

RecordRef recordType = new RecordRef();

recordType.internalId = “14”; // // Record Type’s internal ID (Setup > Customization > Record Types > Basic Record Type (Internal ID=14)

recordType.type = RecordType.customRecord;

recordType.typeSpecified = true;

customRecord.recType = recordType;

customRecord.internalId = “7”; // internal id of the custom record you want to update

Use the rest code as you are already doing.

Hope this will help.

Thanks,

Ashish
