Update Memo Field

edited Dec 2, 2019 6:04PM in SuiteCloud / Customization 2 comments

We use the timesheet for time tracking.  The “items” are basically classes of billable time, with no descriptions.  After an “item” is selected, the user types in a description into the memo field.  However, if the person changes the item, the contents of the memo field get wiped out.  I wrote a simple Field Changed function which executes when the "item" changes.  It reads the contents of the memo field, then writes it back to the same field.

The problem is that the function will only work with the “alert”, as indicated below.  If I remove the alert, the function does not work.  I assume this as something to do with the firefieldchanged and/or synchronous options, but I cannot figure it out.  Any ideas?

Howdy, Stranger!
