05/31/2021, 4:53 PMI don't know what that means. you just use setvalue on the newrecord, as with any other value. How you get it doesn't really matter. Obviously it's not on the form, so you'd have to get the actual value another way

05/31/2021, 5:06 PMhere is an issue we would like that if the script has an error to not create the record or delete the record

05/31/2021, 9:38 PMyou can try deleting the record after submit, but dont expect any suiteapp's after submit scripts to work in your account

05/31/2021, 10:07 PMif you are trying to prevent duplicates, you will probably have to implement the logic yourself

05/31/2021, 10:09 PMIf you want that solution to work with concurrency, you will probably have to use one of the methods documented in the _SAFE guide_
