Custom Field Types
I'm having problems dynamically pulling lists of Entity Custom Fields and their associated field types. I need to dynamically build SOAP calls to create/update Entities and their custom fields in NetSuite.
I'm starting by submitting a getCustomization SOAP request, to pull the custom fields and their field types. The field types are returned as CustomizationFieldTypes:
_checkBox
_currency
We need to dynamically build SOAP calls to create/update new Entities (Contacts, Customers) and include these fields. The problem we're having is trying to map the returned field type (_currency) to the Custom Field Type (DoubleCustomFieldRef - used in the addList/updateList SOAP call).
