Passing a string variable from a view to backend model
So this seems like it should be an easy one, but I seem to be unable to figure it out. I have a sitebuilder site built off of the reference cart (denali) that I want to be able to take value in window.name and pass it to the suitescript .model.js file so that I can use the value in a search. Basically I want the namevariable in the following to be set by window.name
var filters = [ new nlobjSearchFilter('custrecord_owner', null, 'anyof', nlapiGetUser()), new nlobjSearchFilter('name', null, 'is', namevariable) ]; var columns = [ new nlobjSearchColumn('internalid'), new nlobjSearchColumn('name'), new nlobjSearchColumn('custrecord_genre') ]; var search = nlapiSearchRecord('customrecord_artist', null, filters, columns); // if (search && search.length === 1) { // return { result.internalid= search[0].getValue('internalid'), result.name= search[0].getValue('name'), result.genre= search[0].getValue('custrecord_genre') 0
