How can I get actual value for SearchColumnSelectCustomField?
I perform a search like (C#):
var search = new ItemSearchAdvanced { columns = new ItemSearchRow { basic = new ItemSearchRowBasic { internalId = new[] { new SearchColumnSelectField() }, itemId = new[] { new SearchColumnStringField() }, customFieldList = new SearchColumnCustomField[] { <strong>new SearchColumnSelectCustomField { internalId = "custitem_item_category" }</strong> } } } }; var response = _service.search(search);and here is a piece of received XML:
&lt;platformCore:searchRow xsi:type="listAcct:ItemSearchRow" xmlns:listAcct="urn:accounting_2010_2.lists.webservices.netsuite.com"&gt; &lt;listAcct:basic xmlns:platformCommon="urn:common_2010_2.platform.webservices.netsuite.com"&gt; ... &lt;platformCommon:customFieldList&gt; <strong>&lt;platformCore:customField internalId="custitem_item_category" xsi:type="platformCore:SearchColumnSelectCustomField"&gt; &lt;platformCore:searchValue internalId="10" typeId="104"/&gt; &lt;platformCore:customLabel&gt;Category&lt;/platformCore:customLabel&gt; &lt;/platformCore:customField&gt;</strong> &lt;/platformCommon:customFieldList&gt; &lt;/listAcct:basic&gt; &lt;/platformCore:searchRow&gt;
