Hello, I am trying to set a dropdown field value on a sublist field in suitescript 2.0.  I am getting a blank value set.  What is the function to use to set a dropdown list?

It's the standard `setSublistValue()` call, make sure you are using the internal id of the value in the list, and not the text display.  If you doing this in a client script, then you will need to use `selectLine()` first and use `setCurrentSublistValue()`

do you need a selectline for a fieldchanged?

I can't get this code to work.  I have a checkbox value and I am trying to set a dropdown sublist field

if (accrue === 'T')
         {
                rec.setCurrentSublistValue({
                sublistId: 'item',
                fieldId: 'custcol_pi_donotaccrue',
                value: '1'
            });
         }

nevermind I got it working.  am I doing the getvalue of the checkbox correctly?

Well I dont see the `getValue()` or `getSublistValue()` call but I would always validate against `true` or `'T'`  for checkbox type fields because I never know what NS is going to return.

And yes, you should still need to `selectLine()` in the scenario of field changed, it should come into the context of the function call as `context.line`
