11/15/2019, 5:13 PMHow about using the &xml=T trick via the URL and reading the XML. The first XML node contains all the fields available...

11/15/2019, 5:31 PMThis is in script though. For context, I'm working on a script to do bespoke optimistic locking for records that don't have it built in. Unfortunately, I need to reference the last modified date, which is a field that doesn't always use the same field id (sometimes it is "lastmodified" and sometimes "lastmodifieddate")

11/15/2019, 5:56 PMYes you can do it in script by using N/https module and navigating to the URL for the specific record you need to check fields for. Using the GET method of the https module just read the response back as XML and then use the N/xml module to parse the XML for the fields.

11/15/2019, 10:21 PM@Albert Margarit (NS Eng Lead) apparently rec.getField({fieldId: 'lastmodified'}) is null if rec is from currentRecord 😞 But works if I load the record using record.load

11/18/2019, 3:56 PMuh. And the record is in edit mode (not "new" mode), right?
