06/17/2021, 11:44 AMIs there a function in NFT that handles duplicate line items i.e. assume a fulfillment JSON message comes in with a SKU/item name but the item sublist has multiple lines with the same SKU? I have my own helper function but I can't help wonder if someone has come up with something better?

06/17/2021, 2:31 PM@stalbert yeah I just need to make sure I am fulfilling the correct line in the absence of a unique ID coming back from the WMS

Copy code
const found = _.find( fulfillment.item, line => // your logic to find the desired line here)b
