nlapiSearchRecord OVERWRITES saved search?
I noticed today that nlapiSearchRecord, when used with both a saved search id and column objects will write the column objects to the saved search.
Here is a simple example:
Saved transaction search, ID 1234.
Criteria: Type is Sales Order
Results: Amount (Sum)
Now I perform this search from script with an additional result column:
var columns = new Array(); columns[0] = new nlobjSearchColumn('item',null,'group'); searchResults = nlapiSearchRecord('transaction',1234,null,columns);Next, I go back to the UI and edit my saved search #1234. It now contains Item (group) in the results tab. Not only that, if I run this script more than once, I get multiple entries of Item (group) in my saved search.
