this is probably a noob question.... but I am trying to add a 10% markup to the shippingcost field of the item fullfilment record in "beforeSubmit" context and setValue isn't working... what piece of the puzzle am I missing?

`function beforeSubmit(scriptContext) {`
      `var thisRecord = scriptContext.newRecord;`
      `var shipping = parseFloat(noNull(thisRecord.getValue('shippingcost')));`
      `var shipHawkCost = parseFloat(noNull(thisRecord.getValue('custbody_shiphawk_shipping_cost')));`

      `if(noNull(shipHawkCost)){`
        `log.debug('shipHawkCost',shipHawkCost);`
        `log.debug('shipping-before',shipping);`
        `shipping = shipHawkCost+(shipHawkCost * .1);`
        `thisRecord.setValue('shippingcost', shipping.toFixed(2));`
        `log.debug('shipping-after',shipping);`
        `log.debug('shipping-afterround',shipping.toFixed(2));`
      `}`
	 	`}`

Some default mechanism might be overwriting your value, or some other code/workflow?

in general, you should only attempt to do something in script after you know how to do it in the ui
