Parameter Formula on Create Record Action for Item Name/Number

edited Dec 2, 2019 3:38PM in SuiteCloud / Customization 3 comments

I have created a workflow to clone an existing item record into a new item record via a custom button however adding a suffix to the item name/number to allow for the new item to be unique. This is being accomplished through an Item workflow with a Create Record action. Within the parameters of the Create Record action I have listed Name and entered the formula
CONCAT({itemid},'-XXX'). The new item is being created however with the name/number of Invalid Expression - XXX due to {itemid}.

Why would {itemid}, which is representative of the Name of the item record, result in an Invalid Expression? To test this, I replaced {itemid} with {displayname} which worked.

Howdy, Stranger!
