NetSuite Admin Tip | Gulp Theme Deployment: Overwriting Existing Theme Instead of Creating New One

When deploying changes to a custom theme using Gulp Theme Developer Tools, you may encounter an issue where the deployment creates a new theme record instead of updating the existing one. This prevents developers from properly applying updates to the webstore. 

This issue is usually caused by a configuration in the config.json file that forces to create a new theme instead of updating the existing one. 

You can resolve this by following the steps below: 

1. Navigate to ThemeFolderName > gulp > config  
2. Open the config.json file  
3. Look for the following line of code: 

           "deploy_config": {  

4. Remove the line: 

            "create": true
