battk
05/14/2021, 1:01 AMfirst step is to select the line you want to edit
battk
05/14/2021, 1:02 AMusually using either CurrentRecord.selectNewLine or CurrentRecord.selectLine
battk
05/14/2021, 1:02 AMthis step can be skipped if the user has already selected the line and is currently editing it
battk
05/14/2021, 1:03 AMsecond step is to use CurrentRecord.setCurrentSublistValue to make your changes
battk
05/14/2021, 1:05 AMyou should use forceSyncSourcing if you plan on commiting the line afterwards
battk
05/14/2021, 1:05 AMI also recommend not using ignoreFieldChange if any other fields use sourcing on your field
battk
05/14/2021, 1:06 AMlast step is commiting the line with CurrentRecord.commitLine
battk
05/14/2021, 1:07 AMas with the first step, you shouldnt commit the line if the user will make additional changes to the lines themselves

05/14/2021, 5:30 AMThe record is on view mode ,the user clicks a button that fires the script
Sim Greenbaum
05/14/2021, 5:33 AMAt the top im calling record.load , getting data , using data to make api call , then need to save the tracking nubmer . If I save it to the record it seems straight forward set and then save

05/14/2021, 5:33 AMWhy for sublist some much more steps

battk
05/14/2021, 7:01 AMif you are using dynamic mode, then the steps are the same as i gave before
battk
05/14/2021, 7:01 AMdynamic mode matches the steps you do in the ui
battk
05/14/2021, 7:03 AMif you are not using dynamic mode, then you just use Record._setSublistValue_
