Getting an error that I can't create a standalone note, but I can't get an `id` without first creating the note and then attaching it to a transaction?

create a note in the ui and pay attention to the urls involved

url parameters are <https://system.netsuite.com/app/help/helpcenter.nl?fid=section_4267258059.html#bridgehead_4303380122|default values> that can be used while creating the record

Is this documented somewhere? Because I am looking at "N/record Default Values" and none of this is obvious.

some of them are default values, some of them arent and you have to set those fields yourself

I'll be honest, I have no idea what you mean by "pay attention to the urls". The url parameters say `transaction=N` is that what you mean by a default value?

If I hover over the UI on, for example, "Memo" it says fieldId "note".

correct, thats either a default value or a field that you need to set on the note

I tried that and I got invalid default value

Alright, I think I get it. The error messages are sooo confusing.

It says "Memo" in the error message, but it means the field name associated with "Memo"

depends on the error message, some use labels, some use script ids

generally the capitalized ones are using labels

Thanks for the help! I was able to get this working!
