beforeSubmit fields not returning values

edited Dec 2, 2019 6:28PM in SuiteCloud / Customization 5 comments

I perform a search on a custom record looking for values in two fields (one a list/record field, the other an integer field). The search results find the records correctly.

I do a mass update against this search which causes a User Event script I have on the custom record to run.

In the beforeSubmit routine, I load the record using nlapiGetNewRecord and using getFieldValue retrieve the values for the two fields above. They both return null for a value.

The form has the list/record set as inline text while the integer has the 'show' checkbox unchecked (to hide the field). Am I to assume that beforeSubmit is showing these as null because they are set to inline text and not shown or is there something else going on I am not aware of? Both of these returned values should have had values in them (clearly since the mass update search shows them with values).

Howdy, Stranger!
