Userevent script: comparing original values in a field in the afterSubmit trigger

edited Dec 2, 2019 5:46PM in SuiteCloud / Customization 2 comments

Hi all,

I have a function on recordtypeA to update all related records on the after submit trigger. However, to make things more efficient I only want it to update related records only when a certain field in recordtypeA has been changed. Right now anytime a user edits and saves a recordtypeA, the script will trigger and update all related records. Is there a way on the afterSubmit trigger to check the original value of a field and the current value to see if there has been any changes made?

I tried creating a global variable in the same script that gets the original value of the field on the before load and before submit functions, but as I expected the variable does not persist.

Howdy, Stranger!
