When do global variables load? How long are they available?

edited Dec 2, 2019 6:04PM in SuiteCloud / Customization 5 comments

Some scenarios to consider: client script files, server script files, library files.  When exactly do global variables load and how long are they available?

I'm also wondering what happens when, for example, a field change or validate line function fires?  Do the global variables reload each time within the same "screen?"

Basically, I'm trying to limit the number of nlapilookupfield functions we call because it's exceeding the API Governance limits (1000 units) when we have large quotes or when someone has to go back and make a change to a line in the middle of their work, which then kills the quote and they have to start over again and be careful not to mess up.

Howdy, Stranger!
