Capture New Record Info

edited Jun 3, 2020 11:51AM in SuiteCloud / Customization 3 comments

What is the best way to capture new internalId and externalId when a record is added in a custom form? It's easy enough to capture them when a record is updated (below code works) but when a *new* record is added you don't get the new record's internalId in the Save Record Function - it hasn't been assigned yet.

Any advice would be appreciated.

-------------------------
// works on updates but not on new records added
function saveCase () {      

var url = "https://mywebsite.com";
var postdata = new Array();

postdata['internalId'] = nlapiGetRecordId();  // blank on new records

postdata['title'] = nlapiGetFieldValue('title');
postdata['createdDate'] = nlapiGetFieldValue('createdDate');

Howdy, Stranger!
