How Do I Determine the Record a Task was Created From in Script?

edited Dec 2, 2019 6:03PM in SuiteCloud / Customization 2 comments

Using SuiteScript, I need to determine which record a Task was created from, and then pull certain data from the Created From record based on its record type.

Tasks can be created from Customers, Vendors, Transactions just to mention a few. In addition to the build-in relationships, I have added custom CRM fields to the Task record to link the Task to many different Custom Records.

I could probably do what I need using custom fields if they supported joins. But they do not -- so I have to use a script.

So on the Task form I would like to calculated and set certain fields on the Task After Submit based on the Created From record.

Howdy, Stranger!
