[Solved] Hi, I would like to create an button that takes the user to the create journal page, and i would like to prefil some of the fields. What would be a good approach to achieve this? I am currently thinking that a client script that is conditionally executed.

If you need a button in Edit mode only, the client script will fit. For View mode use UserEvent beforeLoad and

context.form.addButton

function

Ah, the button will be in another context and send the user to the new journal page.

So basically my point is that you cannot use client scripts for View mode.

Okey, that’s unfortunate. Is there any other mechanic that allows you to programmatically prefill a form for a user?

Oh yes, for that you can use another script (client) that will look for new JE records creation and prefill values.

The way to do the clientscript to pre-fill on the journal would be to redirect to a new journal page URL with a parameter, then check in the clientscript to see if the parameter has been set & fill accordingly

Thanks for the pointer guys, managed to set a few fields.

You can also prefill fields by doing this: https://*.app.netsuite.com/app/common/entity/custjob.nl?stage=lead&whence=&record.comments=test This is just an example but would prefill the comments field with the text "test", not sure this helps you though 🙂
