Hi, I am trying to redirect the record to a specific form when criteria are met. I am using below script but upon doing so, it keeps on loading and end up not redirecting to that form. I am calling this on UE beforeLoad

redirect.toRecord({

*type*: 'customrecord_xxx',

*id*: context.*newRecord*.*id*,

*parameters*: {'cf':'1806'},

*isEditMode*: context.*type* == 'edit' ? *true* : *false*

});

does the criteria you mention exclude beforeLoad events where the form is already

1806

?

... I must be missing something? You're trying to set a specific custom form before record load, and you're doing this when criteria are met... on the record that is loading?

yes my criteria is

*const* isScopeToolRecord = context.*newRecord*.getValue({*fieldId*: cfg.*DEAL*.*SCOPE_TOOL*}); // this should be true

const isTheForm = customForm == 1234 // this should be true as well

gotcha so you dont want to actually set the form on the record, you just want the ui to use it?

yes correct

if you set the form and they save it tho won't it save the new form?

Nope, the custom record has the "preferred" record. Therefore, it uses other form to default sad parrot

you can actually make a form specific client script if there's logic based on which form is in use... not sure that wins you anything without knowing the bigger picture

Well, on client page init. The record should have to load before it redirects. I am thinking a possibility there the page should redirect before it actually load 🤔

... right... it isn't working though 😂

client script doesn't trigger on view either

I'm not suggesting a redirect btw.. I was suggesting just setting the customform value

so, does your redirection logic have a check to exclude if the current form is already

1806

?

yeah i think David is on to something there

const isScopeToolRecord = context.newRecord.getValue({fieldId: cfg.DEAL.SCOPE_TOOL}); // this should be true

const customForm = context.newRecord.getValue({fieldId: cfg.CUSTOM_FORM});

const isTheForm = customForm == 1234 // this should be true as well

if(isScopeToolRecord && isTheForm) {

redirect.toRecord({

type: 'customrecord_xxx',

id: context.newRecord.id,

parameters: {'cf':'1806'},

isEditMode: context.type == 'edit' ? true : false

});

}

umm what is

customForm

?

sorry, its the current form of the record when it load

ok but that will still be 1234 after the redirect right?

that'll be a constant with value

customform

at a guess

right (hate that) 🙂

potentially you'll need to pull the form parameter from the url on beforeLoad

yes they are constant value.. so if the custom form is 1234 and isScopeToolRecord is true,, record should be redirected other form

but if you load a record on redirect with a specific form what is the form value? the one you set on redirect? or the one stored with the record?

the one set on the redirect

i would log customForm to confirm that

going to test that

ok.. will try it as well

just testing with the console, I'm getting

undefined

when trying to get the custom form value *_when in view mode_

umm so how does the parameter stuff work? cos it looks like it will just put that as a URL param on the record url that gets created... https://ACCTNUM.netsuite.com/blah/blah/blah/....?id=22334455&cf=1806 .. that's not gonna set the form to 1806

yeah, it works for me

huh really there's a cf param that just works for all records? dont think i ever knew that

in view or edit, setting the

cf

url param correctly loads the record with that form

cool TIL

i guess I need to use this

context.*request*.*parameters*.*cf*

to determine if you already redirected?

oh, in testing, if you're in edit mode, you can successfully get the

customform

value from newrecord

David, I think its because its not yet load on "VIEW" mode that's why its not working before.. So I guess.. I need to determine the form use the other way which is can be

context.*request*.*parameters*.*cf*

why doesn't

context.form

have an

id

property?....

yes Anthony, and what is the current form use 🤔

the docs say it doesn't have the id

ill try to explore the exectionContext 🤔 maybe there is something there 😅

you havent shared enough code, but dont make the mistake of creating an infinie loop of redirects

@battk the code problem was that you can't

context.newRecord.getValue

the 'customform' field in view mode (returns undefined). solution was to check

context.request.parameters

for the

cf

param set during the redirect and not redirect again

I think I found the solution on this. I use redirect.redirect instead then I use customForm to validate if the form is already what I wanted. And also use this to omit the looping on beforeLoad that produce the error ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

const customForm = <http://context.request.parameters.cf|context.request.parameters.cf>;

const isScopeToolRecord = context.newRecord.getValue({fieldId: cfg.DEAL.SCOPE_TOOL});

const url = context.request.url + '?rectype=' + 5176 + '&id=' + context.newRecord.id + '&cf=' + cfg.FORMS.SCOPE_TOOL;

log.debug('url', url)

if(customForm != cfg.FORMS.SCOPE_TOOL && isScopeToolRecord) {

redirect.redirect({

url: context.request.url + '?rectype=' + 5176 +

'&id=' + context.newRecord.id + '&cf=' + cfg.FORMS.SCOPE_TOOL

});

}
