Specifying Columns on Contact Search

edited Dec 2, 2019 3:06PM in SuiteCloud / Customization

We are having some trouble getting back a result when we attempt to use a ContactSearchAdvanced object.  We are using .NET for our development environment.

If we use a ContactSearch object and specify the criteria, we get back the records we want.  But if we try to move that ContactSearch object into a ContactSearchAdvanced object so we can specify the columns we want back, we never get a result set.

If we don't specify the .columns of a ContactSearchAdvanced object, we get back the same results as the ContactSearch itself.

We are NOT referencing a saved search ID.  We want our code to ultimately call result columns from the base Contact record and a Joined table.  Our code will be more portable if we don't reference a saved search.

Howdy, Stranger!
