Message record possibility for custom fields

Question

Hi,

We would like to add a custom field to the Message record.

When looking at the record browser the Message record shows:

Message

Internal ID: message

Supports Custom Fields

Show looking at this it looks like it should be possible to add custom fields to the Message record. How and where can I create a custom field to a message record?

Hey @Jeroen Sprangers ZS,

The "Message" is one of the oldest records that hasn't been touched for a while. For reference, it only supports SuiteScript 1.0, while most other records support 2.0+.

Perhaps it was possible to create custom fields via UI, and NetSuite later removed the access without updating the Records Browser. Adding custom fields to the Message record via UI is currently impossible.

There is a small chance it might be possible to do it via SuiteScrip 1.0

Hi @Tigran Shahnazaryan, thank you for sharing your inputs on this! 😁

Hi @Jeroen Sprangers ZS,

Upon checking on this, Tigran is correct. It's currently not possible to create custom fields via UI on Message records. It seems like the Records Browser was not updated for this.

However, I was able to check a related case that this might be possible via scripting. With that said, I'm currently coordinating this with our SuiteCloud team if this is still indeed possible via scripting.

Thanks!
