On a transaction that is in a locked period, and the edit button is not shown:
Copy code
newRecord.isReadOnly === false
form.getButton('edit').isDisabled and .isHidden === falsed

if yes
in BL we can perform a search (or Lookup) on periods to find if its locked,

Netsuite already knows all of this, I would imagine that they could expose that if they want.

to check whether the user has permission like edit view
using getPermisssion API from runtime module

Not sure on this search ( by adding some workflow based conditions)

05/25/2023, 2:55 PMThinking out of the box, could you do a submitfields on a checkbox on the record in your beforeload& see if it succeeds? (though might mess things up with a "record was changed" error)
