Unexpected error when using submitFields to edit transaction
Hello everyone!
I'm developing a Map/reduce script to set some custom values on Finance Charge Invoices, where I use Record.submitFields in the map() entry point to set those. It looks something like this:
const map = (context) => {
try {
const invoiceData = JSON.parse(context.value);
const fields = getFields(invoiceData);
record.submitFields({
id: invoiceData.id,
type: 'invoice',
values: fields,
options: {
enableSourcing: true,
ignoreMandatoryFields: true,
},
});
context.write({
key: invoiceData.id,
value: JSON.stringify({ ...invoiceData, ...fields }),
});
} catch (e) {
log.error('Map error', e);
}
};
When running said script, it logs an unexpected error on the submitFields line:
{
type: "error.SuiteScriptError",
name: "UNEXPECTED_ERROR",
message: "An unexpected SuiteScript error has occurred",
stack: [
"Error\n at suitescript/resources/javascript/record/recordImpl.js:156:24\n at Object.submitFields (suitescript/resources/javascript/record/recordImpl.js:154:30)\n at Object.map (/SuiteScripts/AdiScripts/AD - HN - Localization/AD - HN - Scripts/AD - HN - Process Finance Charges/ad_hn_process_finance_charges_mr.js:302:14)"
],
