Search Filter Expressions - Criteria Negation In User-Event Scripts

edited Dec 2, 2019 5:48PM in SuiteCloud / Customization 1 comment

Negation in search filter expressions (on internal id field match) do not seem to work when run in user event scripts but work when run via a client script.

Client Script Result:

search_results_1[9127477] (should be same id) 9127477  search_results_2[9127477] (should be null) null


User Event Script Result:
search_results_1[9127477] (should be same id) 9127477  search_results_2[9127477] (should be null) 9127477


 function testSearchFilterNegation(sales_order_id)  {    var sales_order = nlapiLoadRecord('salesorder', sales_order_id);    var search_filters_1 =      [        ['mainline', 'is', 'T'],        'and', ['entity', 'is', sales_order.getFieldValue('entity')],        'and', ['internalid', 'is', sales_order.getId()]      ];    var search_results_1 = nlapiSearchRecord('salesorder', null, search_filters_1, [ new nlobjSearchColumn('internalid') ]);    if(typeof window.console === 'undefined')      nlapiLogExecution('DEBUG', 'search_results_1[' + sales_order.getId() + '] (should be same id)', (search_results_1 ? search_results_1[0].getValue('internalid') : null));    else      console.log('search_results_1[' + sales_order.getId() + '] (should be same id)', (search_results_1 ? search_results_1[0].getValue('internalid') : null));      var search_filters_2 =      [        ['mainline', 'is', 'T'],        'and', ['entity', 'is', sales_order.getFieldValue('entity')],        'and', 'not', ['internalid', 'is', sales_order.getId()]      ];    var search_results_2 = nlapiSearchRecord('salesorder', null, search_filters_2, [ new nlobjSearchColumn('internalid') ]);    if(typeof window.console === 'undefined')     

Howdy, Stranger!
