setFieldValue Not Working to Set a List Value on a Custom Record
I have a custom record called a salesordernote, and setFieldValue works to set the salesorder internal id as the parent record, but didn't work to set the custrecord_salesOrderNoteType field on the same custom record.
I'm not sure why that doesn't work, any help would be appreciated!
//salesOrderNote is a custom record type with a sales order being a parent record. salesOrderNote = nlapiCreateRecord('customrecord_salesordernote'); salesOrderNote.setFieldValue('custrecord_salesOrderNoteType', salesOrderNoteType); // salesOrderNoteType = 2 (ID of value in list) salesOrderNote.setFieldValue('custrecord_salesorder', recID); // Add the relation to the sales order -> recID salesOrderNoteID = nlapiSubmitRecord(salesOrderNote, true); // Submit the note record 0
