Custom field values not being set during add or update operations

edited Dec 2, 2019 2:59PM in SuiteCloud / Customization 2 comments

Perhaps there was an API change I missed between 2013.1 and 2016.1, but we recently upgraded our SuiteTalk code from the former to the latter and have found that custom fields included in add and update requests aren't being set.

Here's an example SOAP request from our 2016.1 code that does NOT correctly set the custom field (reviewing the system notes for this Cash Sale record, the custom field in question has no update entries, either). Note that no errors are returned from this operation. It's reported as successful.

Howdy, Stranger!
