I am running a search with a join on items and get the

type

of that item. That returns

Inventory Item

even if it is a kit or serial item. But then when I try doing a submitFields from that same data, I get an error

message: "The record you are attempting to load has a different type: lotnumberedinventoryitem from the type specified: inventoryitem."

Is there any way for me to directly get from the search results, the type needed for the record.submitFields, rather than manually checking if it is a lot/serialize item?
