Setting ID field for Custom records
I am trying to set the ID for imported custom records during the CSV import.
In custom record definition, I have been advised to check the "Show ID" box and also the "Include Name Field" checkbox, so that I can assign an intuitive name for the record. I have turned on autonumbering, with the "Override" option checked.
The problem is that when I go to import the CSV file, "ID" doesn't show up in the list of available fields, which means that there is no way to tell NetSuite which CSV field contains the primary key. "Name (req)" is shown, and "ExternalId", but not "ID".
