06/14/2023, 6:48 PMTrying to push transaction forms via sdf but I get the below error:
An error occurred during custom object update.
I don't unfortunately get any more details, can't seem to find any relevant resources online that offer a solution, does anyone have any experience in how to identify where the issue actually lies when you get little detail in the error message?

06/14/2023, 6:54 PMwasn''t aware of the audit trail, i'll have a look at that and the validation/dryrun commands to see if that gives me more details

06/14/2023, 7:26 PMUnfortunately nothing in the audit trail that isn't already in the error when deploying, a dryrun deployment and validate command both return no errors. All I'm left with is the below logs:

06/15/2023, 9:58 PMOkay, I chased this error for a number of hours. But by its nature no guarantee it's the same issue:
Make sure that all the fields in your transaction form exist in the target account. I also had fields in the target account that weren't included in my transaction form.

06/15/2023, 10:01 PMWas deploying from SB to prod, and even though the extra SB transaction fields were included as dependencies, it wasn't failing validation.
Not sure if the extra prod fields not being included in the form xml definition was also contributing to the error.
Resolved by grabbing a xml def. of the form in prod and doing a (rather awkward) file diff with the SB version

08/14/2023, 8:35 AMresurrecting just to give an update on this one in case that helps out anyone in future... Netsuite has advised that a field on the transaction forms is marked as type "Hidden" on the field definition itself, and SDF does not support hidden as of yet. Annoyingly we do not have access as developers to see either what field is throwing the error, or why!
