03/02/2021, 8:52 PMIs there any reason why the record.setSublistValue would fail to update a record on beforeSubmit when a role other than admin creates a record? The script is deployed and available to all roles. We're currently testing it with roles other than admin and it's not providing any error, it's just failing to update the sublist values

03/02/2021, 9:31 PMYes the code runs when triggered by an admin. I found that it's because the permissions are locked down on the field.

03/02/2021, 9:32 PMWhat I am not confused about, is that this field is supposed to be executing as the administrator. @battk

03/02/2021, 9:44 PMthat record still would be limited by the permissions of that user even if the script was running using different permissions

03/02/2021, 9:52 PMOkay, got it. Thank you for your help. Is there a way that you could think of that would get around this limitation other than setting the field permissions for those roles?

03/02/2021, 9:57 PMor a scheduled script/ map/reduce script if you want to avoid the performance penalty of saving the record twice

battk
03/02/2021, 10:34 PMits why this technique is unfavorable performancewise

03/02/2021, 10:34 PMOh, I see.

03/02/2021, 10:35 PMOkay, I appreciate your help! I'll take this back to my team and see what direction they want to take. This makes a lot more sense to me now.
