getSublistText is throwing error in userevent beforeSubmit (SS 2.0)

edited Dec 2, 2019 4:36PM in SuiteCloud / Customization

I have created a userevent in SuiteSript 2.0. In the beforeSubmit event, I got the workorder object from context. Now when I call getSublistText function on workorder object, it throws following exception:

Exception by NetSuite:
{
  "type": "error.SuiteScriptError",
  "name": "SSS_INVALID_API_USAGE",
  "message": "Invalid API usage. You must use getSublistValue to return the value set with setSublistValue. ",
  "stack": [
    "anonymous(N/recordService)",
    "beforeSubmit(SuiteBundles/Bundle 118273/SES - TodoFut/userevent/f3_workorder_userevent.js:38)"
  ],
  "cause": {
    "type": "internal error",
    "code": "SSS_INVALID_API_USAGE",
    "details": "Invalid API usage. You must use getSublistValue to return the value set with setSublistValue. ",
    "userEvent": "beforesubmit",
    "stackTrace": [
      "anonymous(N/recordService)",

Howdy, Stranger!
