Hi All, is it possible to set externalid with suitescript 2.1 in en user event script? The following code does not work. newRecord.setValue({ fieldId: 'externalid', value: '123', ignoreFieldChange: true });

not in the before submit

Thanks. If not do it in user event script, is there a better solution to set externalid?

what are you using it for

when a record is created/edited, i want externalid is set automatically according to some custom field.

is anything using the external id

yes

you should probably let that thing set the external id

you mean at the moment when that thing is using externalid?

and how is it using the external id, why arent you using your custom field

When externalid is used by outside system, how should externalid set at that moment then?

apis that create records allow setting the external id

From example?

the rest example is Using External IDs

Thanks a lot for your help 🙂
