Hey all, another random question. For Suitescript 2.X scripts, Netsuite seems to block the uploading of any script with the words 'async function'. I understand server side, there may not be any capability to run an async function, but it is pretty useful client side. Does anybody know of a simple way to get around this? Thanks.

@battk Thanks! Apparently tagging it NApiVerison 2.X wasn't doing the trick. Gotta be 2.1.

mostly a failure in semantic versioning

I really don’t like the 2.x/2.X version identifiers, since it doesn’t tell anyone looking at the code what the intended execute API will be, and can cause confusion.

Actually @battk @scottvonduhn, if you don't mind, I have one additional question since you guys tend to be very experienced in this sort of stuff. Consider the client script default function saveRecord() that triggers when you save a record. It seems to be completely synchronous. Is it possible to get it to run asynchronously (so I can use a nicer looking alert library other than window.alert())

no, workaround are the ugliness of making the popup save the record again

@battk Is there an officially supported method for doing that? Or is the only real option there essentially DOM hacking?

fairly minimal, select the save button, press it

Makes sense, though I still wish there was a more officially-supported way to accomplish that - either a function to re-call the save, or, better yet, the option to return a promise in

saveRecord

. It feels like such a waste to not be able to use the

N/ui/dialog

functions in

saveRecord

without something unsupported.

I'll be honest... I kinda wish they would allow promise returns for all of the functions. Though I'm sure some of the validates have to be synchronous, so that wouldn't quite work there 😕.
