I can confirm the customer record is active. Type is ‘individual’. Im able to select the customer using a client script with n/currentRecord.
This is my code:
rec = record.create({type: record.Type.CONTACT})rec.setValue({fieldId: "firstname", value:"Test"})rec.setValue({fieldId: "lastname", value:"Test"})rec.setValue({fieldId: "company", value:20042})rec.save()n

Yeah no, sorry. Individual = no contacts. One of NS's less inspired design choices...
Either arrange to have the customer be created as a Company (not individual), or you can custom create a custom record to tie contacts to Customers. Keep in mind this will have none of the native functionality, it'll just be a raw association.s

1st you create both contact and customer separately, then link those to each other.
