Fun detail. NetSuite can sometimes give you back Number Objects instead of Number Primitives which may cause your equivalence operator to fail

can you zero in on when you're getting back objects? I can't say I've ever seen that myself, but maybe I'm not looking hard enough

to be fair i'm grabbing a value from a record.getValue of a custom field. This is being grabbed from the cache module from a UE script

it used to be a bigger problem in ss1

SS 1 WAS a big problem

im guessing the ss2.1 cache is closer to the java code

p.s as a little shortcut, you can say

.filter( x=> x.startsWith('custrecord')

for simple predicates I think that looks rather elegant.
