I'm trying to check if a chosen field, let's say 'email', is already in use when the user tries to insert a new customer. Therefore, I'm using the
beforeSubmit event to call the following function:
function searchRecord(type) { if (/edit|create/.test(type)) { var mail = nlapiGetFieldValue('email'); nlapiLogExecution( 'DEBUG', 'Method Watch', 'Informed E-mail: ' + mail ); if (mail != null && mail != '') { var filter = new nlobjSearchFilter( 'email', null, 'equalto', mail, null ); nlapiLogExecution( 'DEBUG', 'Method Watch', 'Filter: ' + filter.toSource()); // expected: ({'name':'email', 'join':'null', 'operator':'equalto', 'value':[ 0
