I have asked NetSuite this question but they gave a very vague answer without an example as i dont think they know how. Is it possible to use an Oracle FOR or WHILE loop inside a formula. I know it possible to use conditional statements like CASE but everything else is hazy.

What im looking to do is pull information from a custom multiselct field, in this case it includes a list of colours. I need to iterate through each colour and output a value on an item record based on the results.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks

So your custom field would contain many values? What type of custom field is it?

Hi Oliver, its a custom item field with type Multiple Select. It pulls data from a Custom List. In this example, the list contains colours, then on the Multiple Select field it may have say 5 colours selected, Blue, Black, Green, Red, White. This would output as comma delimited. I want to be able to use a formula to iterate through each comma value like in JS. for (i = 0; i < colours.length; i++) { var this = colours[i]; } By doing this, i can use the tag on our website, basically getting server side output instead of client side.

Thanks

Chris

Ah. Can’t be done, as far as I know. You would need scripting or maybe a workflow.
