Can I change / define the 'active' or 'default' field on a new Transaction Form?

edited Apr 20, 2021 11:55PM in Ask A Guru 4 comments

When creating a new blank transaction form (typically Sales Order, Cash Sale or Quote), we would wait for NetSuite to process it's background tasks when building the form. Normally we tell users to wait for the date to appear in the date field (as this is typically the last field to be populated), and then they can start typing the Customer Name to search for (as the cursor would default to the Customer field).

It appears that a recent change now has the form defaulting the cursor to the Items sublist (to start typing in items to add to the transaction). I'm not entirely clear when this changed, I thought it might be related to 2021.1, but now users are telling me this changed before the recent Release update.

Howdy, Stranger!
