10/23/2020, 9:50 PMright but it won't work unless there is a line already committed
The Usual Suspect
10/23/2020, 9:50 PMOr did they fix that?
The Usual Suspect
10/23/2020, 9:55 PMYeah you can't grab the column unless a line exists and no line exists initially
The Usual Suspect
10/23/2020, 9:56 PMOr wait you get column from somewhere else

10/23/2020, 10:12 PMif you dont want to resort to dom manipulations, you can also use nlapiSetLineItemMandatory in ss1

10/23/2020, 10:13 PMnot much better since its undocumented

10/23/2020, 10:15 PMexpect to use nlapiRefreshLineItems afterwards

10/23/2020, 10:34 PMyeah nlapiSetLineItemMandatory is inconsistent for me
The Usual Suspect
10/23/2020, 10:35 PMI think your suggestion works. Whats weird is that you can get either the field or the column with getSublistField or getColumn which are two different functions for two different objects with the same 'isMandatory' attribute

10/23/2020, 10:44 PMprobably not actually the isMandatory attribute

10/23/2020, 10:44 PMall the ss2 stuff is about generating proxies to the original javascript functions on the page

10/23/2020, 10:45 PMin this case I believe the chain ends in the setRequired function

10/23/2020, 11:05 PMI didn't know about the column deal at all so thanks for showing me that. I've always used the field method which doesn't work as well
