NetSuite Professionals

I found the `Back` button to be largely useless; so hard to repopulate previous data

wasn't that a release highlight for like 2017.1 that said the back button works?

I love the UI components, and it feels really native Netsuite.   But is it worth the late nights to get it to work?  *ponder*

<@U2C4P9YR3> Different Back button :slightly_smiling_face: that was talking about the browser Back; I meant the Assistant Back

<@U5FHY30BV> I have found myself pondering that same question a great many times in the last 6 years

add me to that list w/ just about anything netsuite

it pays the bills which is the only reason i even deal with it.. I can't stand it honestly

compared to a more "traditional" software development job its INFINITELY easier which is the saving grace

you only have to write scripts you don't have to create much of anything and maintain the db and whatnot

i've never messed with assistants sorry <@U5FHY30BV>... not surprised to hear from others that they're a nightmare though

I'm already regretting it <@U29JEQVL6>... Simply want to show a list, with radio buttons next to the list items.  It might take me 10hrs to do, rather then 10 mins.

did something similar recently with a suitelet and `form.addSublist`, but with checkboxes

Ya, I just read that Assistant only allows inlineeditor type sublists ...

Ya, I'm gonna pull the 'chute on this idea in about an hour

Theres a lot of stupid limitations on assistant lists, like what kind of list, it has to be at the bottom of the form etc..

What I ended up doing was creating a custom component in vue.js that looks like a native NetSuite assistant but is totally under my control

My plan is to share it eventually but there are still a lot of rough edges I need to get back to

<@U5FHY30BV> if you are interested I am happy to show you what I have so far, I'll be in the office in a couple hours (still early morning in Australia)

<@U29QCJQF3>, that'd be cool of you.  My day is winding down though ... I'll touch base (once I've pulled my grey hair out)
