anybody know if it is possible to add/create custom record fields via suitescript?

the script id of a custom record field is `customrecordcustomfield` . It does not officially support suitescript

`function addCustomFields(custrecordId, map) {`
        try {
            var errField = '';
            //capture the field id so we know where it errored out
            errField = map.FieldId;

            var newSubTable = record.create({
                type: 'customrecordcustomfield',
                //has to be set to dynamic record in order to be able to add lines
                isDynamic: true,
                defaultValues: null
            });

            newSubTable.setValue({
                fieldId: 'rectype',
                //this is the internalid of the parent custom record
                value: custrecordId
            });
            newSubTable.setValue({
                fieldId: 'label',
                value: map.FieldLabel
            });
            newSubTable.setValue({
                fieldId: 'scriptid',
                //strip the custrecord from the CSV row since NS will add that
                value: map.FieldId.replace('custrecord', '')
            });
            newSubTable.setValue({
                fieldId: 'fieldtype',
                value: map.FieldType
            });
            newSubTable.setValue({
                fieldId: 'showinlist',
                value: true
            });
            newSubTable.setValue({
                fieldId: 'help',
                value: map.FieldHelpText
            });

            //check if multiselect or select
            if (map.FieldType.indexOf('SELECT') &gt;= 0) {
                //check if Use Parent if it is use the newly created record id for the custom record
                //if it's not use the listid from the JSON config object retrieved from the server
                var listId = map.ListId == 'Use Parent' ? custrecordId : map.ListId;
                newSubTable.setValue({
                    fieldId: 'selectrecordtype',
                    value: listId
                });
                if (map.IsParent == 'T') {
                    newSubTable.setValue({
                        fieldId: 'isparent',
                        value: true
                    });
                }
            }
            var newSubId = newSubTable.save({enableSourcing: true});
        }
        catch (ex) {
            handleError(ex, 'addCustomFields ' + errField);
        }
    }
