Can anyone offer any advice on how to call a function from a suitelet via window.opener? My UE loads a client script with `clientScriptModulePath` and in that client script there is a module defined which I am trying to call. I've tried `window.opener.functionName` as well as `window.opener.myModule.functionName` and both are undefined/not a function.

you are using suitescript 2.0, which uses amd modules to explicitly avoid browser globals

im not sure why you are trying to use window.opener

but if you need a global to use with it, then you need to explicitly set one in your client script

my UE sets a button in `beforeLoad` that pops up a suitelet, and when the user submits the suitelet (not a submit button, just a regular button) I need to pass the values back from the suitelet to the parent form

set a column on the current line of a sublist

probably will want to use the opener's require function

```
window.opener.require(["N/currentRecord"], function(currentRecord) {
  var rec = currentRecord.get();
  // and so on
});
```

You could do window.opener.postMessage in the suitelet and then add a message event listener in the client script on the parent form.

<@U5TF1GQ20> `require` worked, thanks. The supply chain management bundle does something similar and that client script calls `var parentWindow = window.opener; parentWindow.SCM.ItemSubstitution.processPopupData({qty: qty, location: location, item: selectedItem, line: origLine, origItem: origItem});` I wonder how it's organized. At any rate, thanks again.

they either did ss1 or made their ss2 set window globals
