Update values on parent record from Suitelet form

edited Jun 2, 2025 2:27PM in Search / Reporting 7 comments

Hi

I have a "parent" transaction record such as an invoice.

On this, I have a userevent button which triggers a suitelet to capture the end user data.

Once the suitelet is submitted, this creates a instance of the custom record type (notes).

  • Is there a way to also update the parent transaction record using values from the suitelet form?

the parent transaction is in 'view' mode when the suitelet form is opened.

From a demo account:

Once the 'add note' button is clicked:

On submit record created:

/**
 *@NApiVersion 2.x
 *@NScriptType Suitelet
 */
define(["N/ui/serverWidget", "N/log", "N/record", "N/url"], function (
  serverWidget,
  log,
  record,
  url
) {
  /**
   * @param {SuiteletContext.onRequest} context
   */
  function onRequest(context) {
    if (context.request.method === "GET") {
      // Section One - Forms
      var invoice_id = parseInt(context.request.parameters.recordId);
      var form = serverWidget.createForm({
        id: "notes",
        title: "Notes",
      });

      var customerGroup = form.addFieldGroup({
        id: "customerDetails",
        label: "Customer Details",
      });
      customerGroup.isSingleColumn = false;

      form.addSubmitButton({
        label: "Submit",
      });

      var select

Howdy, Stranger!
