Workflow Bug - Locking Transactions

edited Dec 2, 2019 3:41PM in SuiteCloud / Customization 2 comments

There seems to be some bug with locking records in workflow. My scripts fail on certain records because those records are locked by workflow. Here's the error code returned:

Code: RCRD_LOCKED_BY_WF
Details: This record has been locked by a user defined workflow.

This is all well and good but I set my conditions to bypass this. I tried context is not scheduled and role is not admin but it still failed. I found a wonky workaround to fix the issue. I had to navigate to every locked record. When the record loaded in view mode the record was indeed locked. I had to refresh the browser so that NetSuite would unlock the record. After refreshing the browser on each record my script then worked.

Howdy, Stranger!
