setFieldValue Not Working to Set a List Value on a Custom Record

edited Jan 8, 2020 3:33AM in SuiteCloud / Customization 4 comments

I have a custom record called a salesordernote, and setFieldValue works to set the salesorder internal id as the parent record, but didn't work to set the custrecord_salesOrderNoteType field on the same custom record. 

I'm not sure why that doesn't work, any help would be appreciated!


         //salesOrderNote is a custom record type with a sales order being a parent record.   salesOrderNote = nlapiCreateRecord('customrecord_salesordernote');   salesOrderNote.setFieldValue('custrecord_salesOrderNoteType', salesOrderNoteType);  // salesOrderNoteType = 2 (ID of value in list)   salesOrderNote.setFieldValue('custrecord_salesorder', recID);  // Add the relation to the sales order -> recID   salesOrderNoteID = nlapiSubmitRecord(salesOrderNote, true);  // Submit the note record

Howdy, Stranger!
