has anyone ever scripted and tried to modify/update the value for the field "item options" internal id 'itemoptions'. I am just trying to how change the field value with record.setValue(options) in a SS2.0 scheduled script. What I figured is that it would accept an array with all the values in double quotes and separated with commasm, but that does not seem to b working..

Have you tried getting the value of the field and logging it? It might be using a different delimiter. Also try looking at it using the NS debuggger, it might be using a non-printable character as a delimiter. If you can figure out how it is set by NetSuite, you can format your data the same way before setting the value.
