How do I create a Lead in SuiteScript 2.0? The following does not work:

rec = record.create({

                    

type: record.Type.LEAD,

                    

isDynamic: true,

                    

defaultValues: {

                        

companyname: context.CompanyName,

                        

subsidiary: defaultSub,

                        

isperson: false,

                        

email: context.EmailAddress,

                        

phone: context.PhoneNumber,

                        

comments: context.Comments

                    

}

                

});

Do those

context.

values actually exist? Do you

save()

the record?

you cannot use defaultValues for just anything, everything in there is doing nothing most likely since I dont believe leads are supported for defaultValues https://system.netsuite.com/app/help/helpcenter.nl?fid=section_4267255811.html#bridgehead_4423371543

If I recall correctly, LEAD is just a status of the Customer record. There is no LEAD record type

Thanks everyone for your help. The issue was that Leads do not accept default values.

Default values do not work most of the time. If you want a single function that sets multiple fields in a key-value style way, like your original code, you could define a function that takes a record and an object, and sets all of the values like this:

Scott - I like that function

Could be made even more compact if using SS 2.1, but yes it is a handy little function, and we do use it quite a lot for things like creating task records when we have to set many fields at once. The util.each could be replaced with your preferred iterator (lodash, etc.)

👍

I usually do something like this in SS2.1

for (const [fieldId, value] of Object.entries(bodyFields)) {
  recordObj.setValue({ fieldId, value });
}

just use NFT
