Selecting a value on a list inside a sublist = Everlasting "Searching..." box

edited Dec 2, 2019 6:18PM in SuiteCloud / Customization 15 comments

Hello,

I'm trying to use nlapiSetCurrentLineItemText() and nlapiSetCurrentLineItemValue() on a list field inside of a sublist that is inside of a custom tab.

The tab, sublist and list are all created on the beforeLoad.
The list is sourced by a custom record type that has more values than the Maximum Entries for Dropdowns preference, which makes the list have a "popup of its own", as the help tip for the field indicates.

The problem happens whenever I try to use either one of the two above functions. If I set the value, no text is shown. If I set the text (even an exact match), I get a "Searching..." box that does not go away. Besides that, just setting the text won't do an auto-lookup. So there's no value set to the field.

Howdy, Stranger!
