Changing preferred form affects WSDL updates
I am using the NetSuite WSDL to update customers on a regular basis from an outside database. This has been working flawlessly for weeks. Today, our staff set a custom form to be the preferred form. This form does not have the fields that I am updating on it. At the same time, my update program began throwing errors, stating that I was unauthorized to update a certain field (custentity40).
We changed the preferred form back, but I think this is a serious flaw. The WSDL isn't using a form, so why is it bound to what is available on the form? I am also running the update program as a NetSuite admin, so I have full access to everything, yet, I get a message that I am unauthorized to perform the action.
