03/22/2021, 5:47 PMI’m new to scripting, so I probably don’t fully understand how it all flows.
When my custom record is updated, there’s a field that sets the “parent record”. That’s filtered to any transaction. However, when I’m trying to submitFields it requires a specific record.Type enum.

const TXN_REC_TYPE =
REC_TYPE !== "customrecord_crd"
? REC_TYPE
: search.lookupFields({
type: search.Type.TRANSACTION,
id: TXN_REC_ID,
columns: "type",

record.submitFields({
type: TXN_REC_TYPE,
id: TXN_REC_ID,
values: {
[TXN_CONTENT_FLD]: xmlAsString,
},
});w

03/22/2021, 5:52 PMIf this script only is deployed on a single recordtype you probably know which recordtype you need to update. IE customrecord_your_parent_record

03/22/2021, 5:53 PMYes, but unfortunately, I need to update a field if 1) Parent Record is updated; 2) Update occurs on the child record (attach/detach)
