How would you update a companies default billing address?
I tried loading the correct *CUSTOMER* record and changing
`objRecord.setValue({ fieldId: 'billaddr1', value: 'NewValue' });`
or
`objRecord.setSublistValue({sublistId: 'addressbook', fieldId: 'addr1_initialvalue', line: 2, value: 'NewValue' });`
and calling: `objRecord.save()`
But I cant see the changes in NetSuites Address-tab

a customer's default billing address is on the addressbook line whose defaultbilling field is set to true

find out which line that is, get that lines address subrecord, and then do your updates to that subrecord

I use `findSublistLineWithValue`and see its line 2. When I save it looks like it has been saved. But when I go into NetSuite, the default billing address is not changed

```        var objRecord = record.load(
          { 
            type: record.Type.CUSTOMER,
            id: 2153
          });
        var lineNumber = objRecord.findSublistLineWithValue({
            sublistId: 'addressbook',
            fieldId: 'defaultbilling',
            value: true
        });
        objRecord.setSublistValue({
          sublistId: 'addressbook', 
          fieldId: 'addr1_initialvalue', 
          line: lineNumber, 
          value: 'NewValue' 
        });
        var recordId = objRecord.save();```

I see my change here:
```  "sublists": {
    "addressbook": {
      "line 3": {
        "addr1_initialvalue": "NewValue",```
But not in NetSuite address tab

expect to learn how a subrecord isnt a sublist

specifically from the link above, which isnt a short read

Ok, thanks. I will read it.

Changing the sublist is probably not the correct way of doing this

Thanks for helping <@U5TF1GQ20> :+1:  I got it working :slightly_smiling_face:

NFT smooths those differences over since different APIs for records/sublists/subrecords is annoying.
