New to NetSuite | N/currentRecord: currentRecord.get.promise Method

edited Aug 22, 2025 8:52PM in SuiteCloud

In our previous article, New to NetSuite | N/currentRecord Module Overview, we discussed the purpose and usage of the N/currentRecord module.  

In this article, we’ll take a closer look at a useful object for script customization: currentRecord.get.promise 

The currentRecord.get.promise() method retrieves a promise that resolves to the current record object. This is useful when you need to interact with the current record asynchronously — without blocking the rest of your script while the record loads. 

  • Module: N/currentRecord 
  • Returns: Promise object 
  • Supported Script Types: Client scripts 
  • Synchronous version: currentRecord.get() 

 

Why Use get.promise()? 

Promises allow your script to remain responsive while waiting for the record data to be retrieved. This is especially useful in cases where loading times may vary or where you’re chaining multiple asynchronous actions. 

Howdy, Stranger!
