Hi all,

New day, next project, new problems in the world of SuiteScript 2.0.

We had a request from users to have a button to create a Return Auth from a Case. Now trying to convert this to 2.0.

Creating button, no problem. Defaulting customer in RA, problem

In 1.0, we had a user event script that before load would check for a querystring parameter. If the “caseid” parameter was there it knew it the RA was being created from a Case. The script would load the Case and get the company and startdate. It would then populate the customer and saleseffectivedate in the RA. Worked, no problem.

So now we go to 2.0, We can get the parameter that was passed, we can get the values from the case but…….currentRecord module is not an option in a user event script. SO, in our beforLoad script how do we set values for this new record we are creating? Since we need the parameter, we can’t do it is a client-side script as far as I know.

What are we missing?

Thanks,

Karen

HI karenn ,

In beforeLoad function, the scriptContext has a newRecord object where you can set the value. Please check https://netsuite.custhelp.com/app/an…il/a_id/44545/

I’m confused.

If the user has create permissions you should be able to do this client side and then just redirect them to the new record.

Otherwise, I would create a suitelet to do the job and then redirect. You can use N/record.

If you have this working in SS1 why are you switching?

newRecord…Thanks! Knew there had to be something like that but was not seeing it. If code completion worked in Eclipse like it used to with 1.0 this would be SOOOOO much easier. I’ll see if that will work for me.

As to why moving to 2.0……Powers That Be what things converted from 1.0 to 2.0 as time permits and everything new is to be in 2.0/ Slow and painful. I was redoing this so I could then use the same ideas to also create new button they want to create a Credit Memo. We just want to populate the couple fields we can from the RA and then the user has to complete the new record before it is saved. We don;t know enouhg for the Case to actually created a complete new RA or CM

Once again, thanks all!

[david.smith]

Got it! Cool.

I think I’d read the parameters on the RA/CM in the page init and then set the values client site in this case (no pun intended).

Learning here…client side might be better but was not seeing how I could get the case id I passed in the URL but then again not easy to find things in 2.0

Supporting david.smith ‘s statement for the client side, you can parse window.location.search similar to the parameters
