Access Permissions To Set Custom Trans Body Field via Script

edited Dec 3, 2019 11:50AM in SuiteCloud / Customization 3 comments

Is there a way for a script (Execute as Admin) to set a custom field when the current user does not have permissions to EDIT that field?

We have created a set of custom transaction body fields on a Sales Order for which we need to restrict EDIT permission to 3 specific roles. So the custom form was created with DEFAULT Access Level = VIEW, and the SELECTED Roles are entered with a Access Level of EDIT.

We have a script when runs when the SO is saved to set these fields.
The script runs as Administrator and All Employees, but if the user who created the SO is NOT one of the selected roles, these custom fields can not be set.

Howdy, Stranger!
