09/20/2023, 4:58 PMIt needs to be only for certain roles when deleting invoices that have specific field values, so that won't work in this case.

09/20/2023, 5:02 PM@GMR Admin Can you redirect to the same record in View mode with a pageinit message?

GMR Admin
09/20/2023, 5:04 PMWhich entry point would you use for that?
GMR Admin
09/20/2023, 5:04 PMI don't know of any that get triggered by the delete action

GMR Admin
09/20/2023, 5:06 PMit can be removed but not sure if suitescript offers that same functionality
GMR Admin
09/20/2023, 5:06 PMmight need to be a workflow

09/20/2023, 5:22 PMYou cannot use suitescript to disable actions.
GMR Admin
09/20/2023, 5:23 PMDoes the delete button trigger saveRecord in client scripts?

09/20/2023, 5:38 PM@GMR Admin I don't believe so, because you're not submitting the current form fields to save the record but instead issuing a record delete action.
Could you try creating a second transaction form for this scenario that doesn't include the Delete action, then load that form for the logic branch that you're preventing delete for? Also throw the error in beforeSubmit just in case someone figures out how to trigger via URL or some other method...

09/20/2023, 5:38 PMIt does not trigger it. I just tested.
GMR Admin
09/20/2023, 5:40 PMI doubt they're going to be ok with a second form.
GMR Admin
09/20/2023, 5:40 PMLooks like workflow is the way to go

09/20/2023, 5:40 PMThat might just leave you with DOM manipulation or other client-side script hacks that aren't robust or reliable
Clay Roper
09/20/2023, 5:41 PMCool, hope the workflow solves this for you!

09/21/2023, 7:42 AMWonder if you do your various check on beforeSubmit and use redirect.toRecord.
I'm thinking you could add a param in the options of that, pick it up in a beforeload and add a message to the form.
Just not 100% sure if the UE would fire a second time if you redirect, I'm 50/50 on that.

09/21/2023, 2:13 PM@NElliott Unfortunately, redirecting from beforeSubmit doesn't work - the beforeSubmit function finishes and the delete action completes. I have used redirect in beforeLoad before, but that's a different case. I tested it in beforeSubmit yesterday, including all manner of combinations of errors, returns, breaks, etc.
