workflow initiatin and user events triggers NOT EXECUTED if record created by script
Good morning,
I have a custom record type ('customrecord_to_trigger_on') on which I have defined a workflow (initiated on create/afterSubmit) and a user event script (executed on afterSubmit).
When I create the custom record from user interface everything works fine:
- the workflow is correctly initiated
- the afterSubmit code is executed
But I need to create the new custom record from a script execution (on afterSubmit of another custom record).
This doesn't triggers the events described above.
In the script where I create the new custom record, I wrote:
var oNewRecord = nlapiCreateRecord('customrecord_to_trigger_on'); oNewRecord.setFieldValue('custrecord_field1', 'value1'); oNewRecord.setFieldValue('custrecord_field2', 'value2'); [...] var nIdNewRecord = nlapiSubmitRecord(oNewRecord); 0
