New to NetSuite | N/currentRecord: Field.getSelectOptions(options) Method

In our previous article, New to NetSuite | N/currentRecord Module Overview, we discussed the purpose and usage of the N/currentRecord module.  

As we continue our journey through SuiteScript’s N/currentRecord capabilities, this article highlights the getSelectOptions() method — a powerful function that helps you retrieve available choices from select-type fields in dynamic mode. 

 

What is getSelectOptions()? 

The getSelectOptions(options) method retrieves an array of available options from a dropdown, multi-select, or radio field on the current record. This is particularly helpful when your script needs to dynamically interact with user-selectable options. 

 

Returns 

• Type: Array 
  The method returns an array of objects, each containing a value and text key, representing the internal ID and display label of each option.
