I am trying to create a custom action that would ask for user input input in a popup before moving on and then store that value in a text field on the record. Seemed like an easy thing. I use the a prompt function and then I have a varialbe I can pass. Works like a champ in Suiteflow but I am trying to create this as a custom action I can use in multiple places. I keep getting the error Reference Error: “prompt” is not defined. Below is the portion of script I use. Any help would be appreciated. Oh and I think prompt would make a great standard action will probally look for or file an enhancement request for this.

var reject = prompt(‘Please enter your reason for rejection’,”);

I have a feeling I am getting this because of the timing of the custom action (even though I fire on before record submit it still loads the action on the server side) can anyone confirm that?

Workflow action script is always executed on the server side as you correctly mentioned above. To achieve what you want a client side SuiteScript has to be used.

Yeah thanks I figured that one out. Bummer.

can you share how you achieved it via client script, I am new to this and trying to do the same as you mentioned, capture the rejection reason.

[mneedhameleven]

I simply used the javascript prompt a=prompt(“Put your Answer Here”)

Are your buttons added to the form by the workflow and if so, how did you attach the client script to the reject button?

Can anyone share further instruction about adding user input about rejection reason in a Workflow?

Hi all,

I tried the similar thing, have workflow custom action on entry do a windows prompt. This will be triggered on the click of Reject button and will continue with other steps in the workflow.

var RejectReason = prompt(“Please enter your Rejection Reason”, “Rejected because – “); Getting the error:

ReferenceError: “prompt” is not defined.

This is on entry to the workflow state. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

I was told by a NS support rep to create a suitelet; then using a workflow to add a button to the transaction that would trigger the suitelet even when the record is in View mode. I have created a suitelet that partially works. Since I am a newbie to SuiteScript the problems I am now faced with are as follows:

1. I don’t know how to instruct the suitelet to return to the transaction record and store the response into my custom field called Rejection reason.

2. I have created a second suitelet that will put the first Suitelet into a pop up window instead of going to a web page. I found that is the way Netsuite is doing it for the Delete transaction reason feature. When I searched the code (which took a lot of digging) I found nlExtOpenWindow ( url, ‘ ‘, width, height, false, title); I created my variables for url, width, height and title but I get this error “ReferenceError: “nlExtOpenWindow” is not defined.” I have searched and searched and I can not find any documentation on nlExtOpenWindow.

The theory of this sounds easy but Netsuite is making this pretty difficult and frustrating. I see that it can be done with the Reason for Deleting a Transaction feature introduced in Version 15.2.
