for a LIST sublistType on Suitelet, is it possible to edit the text of sublist line data while still being inline? I have a client script updating the sublist, but it seems to only update the underlying values, the text does not change

what do you mean by inline. you shouldn't be able to have an inline html field on a sublist

I just meant with the LIST sublist field it is not specified as FieldDisplayType ENTRY or anything, so it shows up as inline. it is just a TEXT field

I believe Entry is your primary choice here

figured that was the case. unfortunately I have a dynamic html href that I need to change the link for each line, so it has to be Inline type, guess I'll just have to do some jQuery hacking
