How long does changing an item field's ID take to propagate?

edited Dec 3, 2019 11:53AM in SuiteCloud / Customization 3 comments

So I have a field called 'custitem233' and I rename it to 'custitemcolors'.

Then in an item template I reference <%=getCurrentAttribute('item', 'custitemcolors')%>, but netsuite says there is an error in referencing that field. My first thought was 'I must have a typo' but after a bunch of checking and testing I find out that if I use the old ID in the code then the code works. But netsuite says it has changed the field to the new ID.

Am I missing something or does netsuite require multiple hours for a change like this to work?

Howdy, Stranger!
