I got one more question.  I am trying to see if a field value changed on a form.  do you know why the following if statement does not work

be more specific about what you mean by not working

if you mean the statement for the if condition does not run you need to share the values in your variables

I have a multi-select field that I am trying to see if the values changed and it keeps on running through the if statement even though the subsidiary did not change

departmentsubchange.js

and what are the values for oldStatus and newStatus

{"details":"newStatus = 10 Ping Identity Corporation"}

{"details":"oldStatus = 10 Ping Identity Corporation"}

i would have expected internal id numbers from your code

the script keeps on running the if condition even if nothing has changed

getValue for a multi select field returns an Array

what would be the best way to compare the two arrays?

oldStatus and newStatus are different Arrays despite having the same values for their elements

lazy way is just convert it to a string using .toString and compare the string values

it relies on netsuite returning the multi select values in the same order

you may also want to move the script to beforeSubmit so you dont resave the department
