I have a Client Script that runs on a Sales Order. The script is telling me that Location is not visible despite it being visible.

var locationField = record.getField({ fieldId: "location" });
log.debug("locationField", {
  locationField: locationField,
});
// Logs:
// {"id":"location","label":"","type":"text","isMandatory":false,"isDisabled":false,"isPopup":false,"isDisplay":false,"isVisible":false,"isReadOnly":false}}

How can I get the value of Location in a Client Script?

You retrieve values using

record.getValue()

, not

record.getField()

Understood, the problem is I call

record.getValue({ fieldId: "location" });

and it returns nothing.

Why do you need to call

getField()

?

I don't. I called

getField

because I don't understand why

getValue

does not return anything?

Probably need to see more context in your script

log.debug

shows up but prints {} let me get you the rest of the script

How is

printPackingSlip

invoked? Are your other

getValue

calls working (e.g.

subsidiary

)?

subsidiary

works,

printPackingSlip

is invoked on a Sales Order Record Button Press, or rather a

UserEvent

script puts a button on the Sales Order during

beforeLoad

So this is running in VIEW mode then?

Correct

I don't think all values are present on the

CurrentRecord

instance in VIEW mode.

So thats why getField() / getValue() was turning up blank

and if I switch it to

subsidiary

, that does return the value

ok, I'll refactor to use the N/Record module to load the record for real and try from there
