How to populate Items Sublist Field with a Header Field value on a Purchase Order

edited May 28, 2020 8:00PM in SuiteCloud / Customization 2 comments

Hi,

I am new to development and SuiteScript so please excuse any dumb questions.

We have custom approvals being triggered from the Project Manager defined on a Project which is set at the purchase order Header field. Therefore, I am trying to pre-populate the ITEMS sublist field Project (Customer) with the value from the header field when the item is initially selected.

I've done some digging around the SuiteScript event types and available entry points and thought the Client Event Script would be ideal. I've built my script using the entry point sublistChanged.

Below is an excerpt of the code.

Howdy, Stranger!
