two issues with nlapiMergeTemplate()

edited Dec 2, 2019 6:26PM in SuiteCloud / Customization 3 comments

I've encountered two issues with nlapiMergeTemplate that I don't like I wanted to bring them up here to see what you all think... if the behavior should be changed.[LIST=1]
[*]MUST specify a record type and id to perform a merge.  This might seem obvious, but there are cases when you would not want to do this (EG: A Task record is not supported with nlapiMergeTemplate (throws UNEXPECTED ERROR) so in order to fill the gap where NetSuite decided to ignore the sendEmail field we need to merge and email on our own - the only LOGICAL record is the task but we can't use it).  It seems that since we can pass a custom tag hash we shouldn't be required to specify a valid record.
