Team, I am trying to “detect” when users click on “Save As” on a customer record. I need to clean up some fields when this happens. Any ideas on how detect this Save As? I have been trying with a User Event script, but the “type” seems “edit” then “create” and I cannot detect the Save As. Thanks!

If it existed, it would be here: context.UserEventType. It doesn't.

the safe generic way is to set a checkbox to indicate that your script has run

and then when you see a create with that checkbox checked, then you know to run the logic again

this will also work for records that support copy, which is usually what you also want

you can also rely on fields that only exist on preexisting records, for example if you see a record being created with the `lastmodifieddate` already set, then the record was created from another

internally, netsuite uses the `nameorig` for this purpose

thanks a lot guys <@UAY2A4UBA> <@U5TF1GQ20>
