does anyone know why setting the shipping address on a transfer order like this:
```            rec.setValue({ fieldId: 'shipaddressee', value: 'Walmart WFS'});
            rec.setValue({ fieldId: 'shipaddr1', value: address1});
            rec.setValue({ fieldId: 'shipcity', value: city});
            rec.setValue({ fieldId: 'shipstate', value: state});
            rec.setValue({ fieldId: 'shipzip', value: zip});
          }```
would not work?

I also tried getSubrecord and setting that way without success

i tried afterSubmit &amp; beforeSubmit

for some reason the shipaddr1 &amp; shipcity are working but not the other ones

Are you setting the country first?

I can see the address subrecord getting updated in the script

```            var shippingAddressSubrecord = rec.getSubrecord({fieldId: 'shippingaddress'});
            shippingAddressSubrecord.setValue({fieldId: 'country', value: 'US'});
            shippingAddressSubrecord.setValue({fieldId: 'addressee', value: 'Walmart WFS'});
            shippingAddressSubrecord.setValue({fieldId: 'addr1', value: address1});
            shippingAddressSubrecord.setValue({fieldId: 'city', value: city});
            shippingAddressSubrecord.setValue({fieldId: 'state', value: state});
            shippingAddressSubrecord.setValue({fieldId: 'zip', value: zip});
            log.debug('shippingAddressSubrecord', shippingAddressSubrecord);```

I found the issue - you really need to load the record with isDynamic: true or else it will not work

No worries. But I'm sure you can still do this in standard/static mode.
