Custom item field - id

edited Dec 3, 2019 11:54AM in SuiteCloud / Customization 3 comments

We are new to NetSuite.  When defining a custom item field, my reflex is to customize the system generated id to avoid confusion of having id's of custitem1, custitem2....   I do not see any negative consequences of this, are there?    For imports is the custom item field - id referenced?  We understand for a potential java script having a custom item field id that is recognizable makes sense.

Just asking, it is a pretty basic question, but we are trying to avoid a got you situation.  It would be helpful to know if others just routinely make the field name and custom item field the same.

Howdy, Stranger!
