Clear Field on Copy Record

edited Dec 2, 2019 5:47PM in SuiteCloud / Customization 6 comments

I'm trying to clear a field when a user makes a copy of a Supplier (Vendor) record. I've created a User Event script to handle this because workflow does not play nicely with the entity record. My code is below and I've tried calling the function Before Load and Before Submit, but in both cases it would not execute. I followed a similar setup to what was described in the SuiteAnswers article ID: 35097.

function beforeLoad_clearODBfields(type, form)
{

    nlapiLogExecution('DEBUG', 'beforeLoad_clearODBfields', 'type = ' + type);

    if (type != 'create' && type != 'copy')
        return;
    nlapiSetFieldValue('custentity_supp_odbaction', '');
}

Thanks,
Hunter MacLean
