05/27/2021, 2:49 PMHello, I have a custom body field that contains a file id on a remote system. What I am trying to do is to covert this normal field into a URL the user can click, that will trigger a Suitelet to download the document with that id. Anyone has done this? Any suggestions? Thanks!!!

05/27/2021, 9:07 PMokay, I have created a new field on an user event script, type is INLINEHTML
Antonio Garcia
05/27/2021, 9:07 PMI think this would work
Antonio Garcia
05/27/2021, 9:07 PMI can add an anchor <a> tag
Antonio Garcia
05/27/2021, 9:08 PMthat can call a suitelet to do the download
Antonio Garcia
05/27/2021, 9:08 PMI think it may work
Antonio Garcia
05/27/2021, 9:08 PMit seems I cannot add a label to an INLINEHTML field… this is not good
Antonio Garcia
05/27/2021, 9:08 PMdo you know if it is possible?

05/27/2021, 9:12 PMadd whatever elements are necessary to make it look how you want

Antonio Garcia
05/27/2021, 9:15 PMoh, right, I guess I can add the label as well….
Antonio Garcia
05/27/2021, 9:15 PMI will try that

battk
05/27/2021, 9:21 PMkeep in mind, that my recommendation remains to make a hyperlink custom field using the normal suitebuilder before trying to script it

05/27/2021, 9:23 PMwhy?
Antonio Garcia
05/27/2021, 9:24 PMnot to customize with scripts?

05/27/2021, 9:48 PMusually you want to identify why the native solution doesnt work for you before moving onto a scripted one
battk
05/27/2021, 9:48 PMso far your requirements look like a hyperlink with a label, which is within the capabilities of a native hyperlink field

05/28/2021, 6:42 AMokay, thanks, that makes sense
Antonio Garcia
05/28/2021, 6:47 AMin this case though, I will need scripting, at least a Suitelet to call the integration to retrieve that document. But maybe I would not need a User Event script to create the INLINEHTML fields... etc
