This is bizarre... submitting a form to post to a suitelet. I have a checkbox on a sublist, and even when I select mark all, it's coming across as `"F"` when using `request.getSublistValue()`. Thoughts on what's going on here? I must be doing something ridiculous, but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

There was a second sublist, and I have entirely commented that out, so it can't be that i'm confusing sublist Ids. getSublistValue IS returning a value, so I haven't misspelled anything.

The above is happening on POST and I'm not doing anything fancy (except calling `submit()` from the client side - using a custom button instead of the built in submit button).

I wonder if it has to do with <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLFormElement/submit|this>:
&gt;  This method is similar, but not identical to, activating a form's submit &lt;button&gt;. When invoking this method directly, however:
&gt; • No submit event is raised. In particular, the form's onsubmit event handler is not run.
&gt; • Constraint validation is not triggered.
&gt; 

You could try maybe <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLFormElement/requestSubmit|form.requestSubmit()> instead, or I've definitely used jQuery's submit method successfully on custom buttons:
```const submitForm = (id) => jQuery(id).submit()
// ...
  submitForm('#main_form')```

Yeah I bet the form's `onsubmit` handler is what collects all the values

I guess NetSuite is using the submit event. ya makes sense

Sorry, I think I led you down the `submit()` road, but I must have had the jQuery submit method in my head

No problem. That is the doc you originally shared, and it did warn me. lol

```document.getElementsById('main_form')[0].submit()```

```document.getElementsById('main_form')[0].requestSubmit()```

That all tracks; doesn't necessarily matter how you select the `&lt;form&gt;` instance, so long as you use `requestSubmit()` (which jQuery must) instead of `submit()`
