Before Submit if statement?
On creation of an inventory item, I am trying to do two things, copy a field into two other fields if those two fields are empty/null. Here is what I have:
function beforesubmit(type) {
var purchasedesc = nlapiGetFieldValue('purchasedescription');
if (purchasedesc != "null") {
copy_from = nlapiGetFieldValue('displayname');
nlapiSetFieldValue('purchasedescription', copy_from);
var salesdesc = nlapiGetFieldValue('salesdescription');
if (salesdesc != "null") {
copy_from = nlapiGetFieldValue('displayname');
nlapiSetFieldValue('salesdescription', copy_from);
}
}
}
The part of this script that is working is copying. That is good enough, but I was hoping to create an if statement leaving the fields alone if they are not empty/null.
The if part of it does not work. From what I have searched around, I think I am close, but the more I look at it the more I think having an if statement in a before submit won't work because there is technically nothing in the field yet.
