Update CustomField Value

edited Jun 3, 2020 3:24PM in SuiteCloud / Customization 1 comment

I'm trying to update a custom field value via suitetalk and having a hard time figuring out the correct way to do this.

First off, I'm using the perl NetSuite code to do this, so any examples or help will probably just need to be the raw SOAP/XML, and then I can work backwards from that.

I have in inventoryItem (InternalID 664), and I'm trying to update the Custom Field (InternalID custitemcolor_url) with the value of "Blah".

What I'm confused about is what object and id's should I use in my "update".

I have tried various updates to "inventoryItem 664" but keep getting errors, and am thinking that instead I need to do an update to something like "customField", with 2 keys (664 and custitemcolor_url), but it's not obvious what the object is, or how to give 2 internalID's.

Howdy, Stranger!
