adding a custom record

edited Dec 2, 2019 3:04PM in SuiteCloud / Customization 2 comments

Hi All,

I am getting this error when I try to add a custom record and yet I am following the documentation to add a custom record.  Please can anyone advise what may be causing the error.  Moreover, how does netsuite know which parent record (customer entity) I am trying to link to.  The format of the add operation for custom records doesn't seem to allow the specification of the parent record id

Many thanks

Dave
