Why does getText not work on record creation?
Hi there
I have a before record submit script that is supposed to run on a custom record and return an array of values called 'common values' if a value is found on more than one custom record:
/**
* @NApiVersion 2.x
* @NScriptType UserEventScript
*/
define(["N/record", "N/search"], function (record, search) {
/**
* @param {UserEventContext.beforeSubmit} context
*/
function beforeSubmit(context) {
try {
var approverRecord = context.newRecord;
var returnType = approverRecord.getText({
fieldId: "custrecord_type_of_return",
});
log.debug("return type", returnType);
var returnAuthAppr = search.create({
type: "customrecord_ieturn_auth_approver",
filters: [],
columns: [
search.createColumn({ name: "internalid", label: "Internal ID" }),
search.createColumn({
name: "custrecord_first_approver",
label: "First Approver",
