I am trying to create a custom record everytime a transaction record is created, edited or copied. does the following code validate it? I am concerened about the COPY event type:

if(scriptContext.type == scriptContext.UserEventType.EDIT || scriptContext.type == scriptContext.UserEventType.XEDIT || scriptContext.type == scriptContext.type == scriptContext.UserEventType.CREATE || scriptContext.type == scriptContext.type == scriptContext.UserEventType.COPY){
            
            var customRecordId = createCustomRecord();
            log.debug('Custom Integration Record Id', customRecordId);
}

you have a mistake in your code.

|| scriptContext.type == scriptContext.type == scriptContext.UserEventType.CREATE || scriptContext.type == scriptContext.type == scriptContext.UserEventType.COPY

you've probably doubled up when you pasted...

so COPY is a valid, userEventType arguement though?

Copy is only valid in

beforeLoad

what does this do

indexOf(scriptContext.type) > -1

? and is there something similar for COPT in

afterSubmit

?

No, every

copy

event becomes a

create

during the submit events

indexOf can be used to check if an array contains the specified element. Kinda like in_array() in PHP. If it returns -1 the element is not in the array. More info here: https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_indexof.asp
