I am struggling with a bit of code that uses render… I am trying to pass in custom variables either basic strings or objects and I keep receiving the following error:

Copy code

"type":"error.SuiteScriptError","name":"UNSUPPORTED_DATA_FORMAT","message":"You have supplied an invalid value for data format: JSON: A JSONObject text must begin with '{'

Here is my code:

Copy code

renderer.addCustomDataSource({
        format: render.DataSource.OBJECT,
        alias: 'message',
        data: JSON.stringify(message)
      });

I have tried using render.DataSource.OBJECT and render.DataSource.JSON

I have tried the same above options passing just the object itself with and without JSON.stringify

Try data : message rather than data : JSON.stringify(message)

@DMS oooh I understand I have already tried this but will be more than happy to try it again

JSON.stringify(message) converts the message object to a string

So in the code above you are passing a string rather than a JSON object

David Durst

the values can be a string

David Durst

I guess that is the potential problem

ok I must be a dolt

I got this working… doesn’t the render product HTML also?
