anyone know if its possible to hide or disable a sublist field with a pageInit Client Script?

my advice is to use <https://system.na0.netsuite.com/app/help/helpcenter.nl?fid=section_N3042487.html#bridgehead_N3044648|nlapiGetLineItemField> to get a nlobjField which you can manipulate how you wish. you can also use the more specific <https://system.na0.netsuite.com/app/help/helpcenter.nl?fid=section_N3042487.html#bridgehead_N3043335|nlapiDisableLineItemField>

SuiteScript 2 equivalent <https://system.na0.netsuite.com/app/help/helpcenter.nl?fid=section_4637583684.html|CurrentRecord.getSublistField(options><https://debugger.na0.netsuite.com/app/help/helpcenter.nl?fid=section_4637583684.html|)> is less likely to work since it requires a line number

This has been a rather obnoxious stumbling block, in my experience - having to call `window.nlapiDisableLineItemField()` within SS2.x scripts feels extraordinarily hacky, and I can't believe that NetSuite hasn't acknowledged that this is a step backwards when transitioning from SS1.0 to SS2.x.
