Fields not sourcing in beforeSubmit scripts

edited Dec 2, 2019 6:21PM in SuiteCloud / Customization 9 comments

Either I am completely out to lunch or there has been a strange change to the behavior of server-side user event scripts.  A wide variety of fields are not sourcing when related fields are set.  Here are three cases:

Case 1: Setting a discount item on a transaction before submit.

This should cause the corresponding discount rate to populate and the discount amount to calculate.  Instead, just the discount item field is set.

Case 2:  Setting a subtotal or discount line item

invoice.setLineItemValue("item","item",invoice.getLineItemCount("item")+1,-2)

When the invoice is loaded, the subtotal is there but has not calculated the subtotal, it calculates if you manually edit a line on the invoice that is returned.

Howdy, Stranger!
