Anyone ever run into an error trying to load & save an existing vendor (via script), and receive an error that the field id "isindividual" is not defined?
Copy code
require(['N/record'], function (record) {

let vendor = record.load({
	type: 'vendor',
	id: '10671',
	isDynamic: true
});
console.log('isindividual 1: ' + vendor.getValue('isindividual'));
vendor.setValue({
	fieldId: 'isindividual',
	value: 'Company'
});
console.log('isindividual 2: ' + vendor.getValue('isindividual'));
vendor.save({
	ignoreMandatoryFields: false,
	enableSourcing: true
});

})
It's very odd - every time I run the above script on the same record, "isindividual 1:" never outputs a value
Yet if I remove the lines that set the isindividual field, the script fails to save the vendor
Seems to be limited to a certain NS account
oh, I think it's due to the form making the type (company vs indiv) required
b
find the field in the ui, find its internal id
it is not isindividual
its represented in the ui as a radiobox, but its really a checkbox in suitescript

Ah ha - if you make the "Type" field required via the form, you can't load and save the record via script
without setting the isindividual field every single time

battk is is correct. Your code above is undefined behavior.

You can try it out, but if you create a custom form for a vendor, and set the native "Type" field to mandatory, it causes this behavior. The following script will error out if you try to run it.
Copy code
require(['N/record'], function (record) {

let vendor = record.load({
	type: 'vendor',
	id: '[YOUR VENDOR'S ID]',
	isDynamic: true
});
vendor.save({
	ignoreMandatoryFields: false,
	enableSourcing: true
});

})
And you'll get a script error saying that Type (pointing at isindividual) is not defined.
Seems like isindividual is more of a dynamic client-side field that NS adds to the page, probably to control if the vendor is a company or an individual. Via script I would have controlled this via isperson.
But when you make the Type field required, it seems like NS gets a little confused
