Can I set a Value In UserEvent - Before Load function in Suitescript 2.0?

Yes <@URXLUE2EB>  
 objRecord.setValue(
{ fieldId: 'item', value: true, ignoreFieldChange: true });

var customerRecord = context.newRecord;
 customerRecord.setValue({
				fieldId: 'custbody_test',
				value: 1,
				ignoreFieldChange: true
				})

I am passing like this but it is unable to set before load

According to NetSuite <https://system.app.netsuite.com/app/help/helpcenter.nl?fid=section_4407991781.html>
&gt; Data cannot be manipulated for records that are loaded in beforeLoad scripts. If you attempt to update a record loaded in beforeLoad, the logic is ignored.
&gt; Data can be manipulated for records created in beforeLoad user events.

See section 4387799721 there is an example they have done the same.

Also use logs to see where is the problem

can us send me the suite ans id please,unable to open that page

Replace the number in url given by ns_dev

<@UP8JP10L9> Data can be manipulated for records created in beforeLoad user events. -&gt; you can  only update records which are created in beforeLoad. So if you look at the script example in section 4387799721(as you mentioned), _beforeLoad_ method is not being executed if record is not in *create* mode.

<@URXLUE2EB>, you should use *pageInit* from _client-script_ to set any values on record, or you can create workflow and set values in it.

<@UN3AU56SD> function beforeLoad(context) {
            if (context.type !== context.UserEventType.CREATE)
                return;
            var customerRecord = context.newRecord;
            customerRecord.setValue('phone', '<tel:5555555555|555-555-5555>');
            if (!customerRecord.getValue('salesrep'))
                customerRecord.setValue('salesrep', 46); _// replace '46'  with one specific to your account_
        }

In the help center they are using before load and they are setting the values for the record

but it returns from the method if context.type is not create
```if (context.type !== context.UserEventType.CREATE) return;```

Yes he is right. You have to use pageinit of clientscript for doing this

so..it is not possible in userevent right?

<@UP8JP10L9> <@UN3AU56SD> Thank you guys.
