how can I attach an existing `CONTACT` record to a `CUSTOMER` record? I thought it was a normal sublist operation but getting an error `SSS_INVALID_SUBLIST_OPERATION`

ah, thank you. didn't realize it was via the `record.attach()` method

in general you use record.attach when you use the attach button

yea, that's on me. I saw it on the customer record, and I even saw the method when looking through `N/Record` API, but my brain just wasn't connecting the two. Appreciate the heads up.

can you attach a saved record to a record that hasn't been saved yet?
Ie can I do
```record.create()
...
record.attach()
...
record.save()```
or do I have to do
```conRecord = record.create()
...
conIID = conRecord.save()
cusRecord = record.create()
...
cusRecord.save()
cusRecord.attach(...conIID...)```

you should be able to figure that one out after you learn how to use <https://system.netsuite.com/app/help/helpcenter.nl?fid=section_4267284169.html|record.attach>
