Request: nlapiSubmitField() support multiple records

edited Dec 2, 2019 6:03PM in SuiteCloud / Customization

Consider this real world code:

 if(candidates)  {      //  Matches were found, we need to loop through the results and       //  update the medical records status field      for(var i = 0, len = candidates.length; i < len; i++)      {          nlapiSubmitField(REC_IDS.PHYSORDER, candidates[i].getId(),               PHYSORDER_FLD.MED_REC_STATUS, MED_REC_STATUS.PEND_REV);      }            return true;  } 


If nlapiSubmitField() supported multiple records that could be a much more efficient operation.  Something like:

 var ids = [1,2,3];    //  note:  I think it would be reasonable to require it be the  //  same field for all records to keep things simple  var fields = ['flda', 'fldb'];    //  This would need to support values for each record and   //  the same value for all records to keep the syntax simple.  //  It could check for a single dimension array or value (same   //  value for all records) or a multi-dimensioned array for specific  //  value for each record  var values = 'sameValueForAll';    //  OR array syntax for single field, same value  values = [
