How to run a script on creation

edited Jan 8, 2020 3:31AM in SuiteCloud / Customization 1 comment

Hi,

I'm trying to find out how to run a script before the first time it's called by the user.

So far I've found this to be achievable using workflows, but this becomes very convoluted due to the number of processes intended to run.

Seems the previous admin managed using UE on beforeload, but that is not working anymore.

Any ideas how to trigger a script on creation?

********

Found the answer. The record can be properly manipulated on aftersubmit(create) as this is the first moment when it has an internalid. Apparently changes can be made on beforesubmit(create) but the id returns null.

Howdy, Stranger!
