Okay im having a really annoying thing im trying to debug: So i have a function which iterates through a lot of items, and im having trouble with some. This is an example of an item im having trouble with: I have created and if statement, check the values of the item and thoose are fine! Except for when i try to use bomItem.custitem12 in CHECK 6.. Im using a keyvalue object which holds the SAME value as bomItem.custitem12 shows in CHECK1, but apparently when i try to pass the bomItem.custitem12 value it does not work, but when i use the string it does work... I have tried to use TOSTRING on the bomItem.custitem12 in Check5 but without any luck, does ANYBODY? have an idea on what this could be?? I have tried to debug it, but i cant seem to find a fix

maybe something wrong with your

recordSetPricesItemObj

? If that is some object you're building up from NS record data, I'd recommend using NFT to avoid bugs.

What is NFT?

I am guessing that for some reason the variable and the string aren't the same. possibly a trailing whitespace? Would you place a character immediately before and after the variable in CHECK 7? If there is a trailing whitespace that would reveal it. Alternatively, you could do a direct comparison between the variable and the string.

The whole approach is really hard to follow. You should spend some time refactoring to use IDs of some kind. You must waste so much time debugging because the names are all so similar. Also,

custitemXX

all over the place is impossible to follow

i agree with all of the above. ALSO, most commonly the issue here is with whitespace. Doesn’t have to be trailing/leading, it could even be somewhere in the middle. When you write to the logs it is displaying in HTML and therefore you may lose an extra space and it looks like one. Go to the Item itself, in edit mode, and copy the Item ID / Name field. You will probably see an extra whitespace character in there.

No whitespace, placed an "a" before and after

You’re wasting lots of time on this. Rewrite it to use integer internal IDs?

how would i get the ID of the stock categroyies?

I literally don't know, there isn't enough information. What I'd do if I were you: 1) Change the IDs of all of the

custXXX

records to have sensible names so that it's readable by someone else that doesn't know your system 2) Post your entire script here, along with the custom record type definitions 3) Post what you are actually trying to achieve

my script is like 1600 lines right now

it would make your code maintainable

Yes... but that is not the problem

Anyway, if the reference on one record is linked to a custom record/list and isn't just freeform text, then you can use IDs

message has been deleted

so 197 is the category

yes... but if you get the value from the stockcategory field you will get the name

we literally have no way of helping you without seeing your code

Can i dm you

i'll let you ponder what i've tried to say, i've got work to do

you asked to see my code, but fair enough

like i said, i've got work to do. if you share it in this thread others may have time to help

but again, just asking how i should get an id from the stock category, that has nothing to do with my code

it depends on what you have done. do you want to get the internal ID from a saved search, which could be a search on the record that references the stock category, or an actual stock category search itself? or you could have loaded a record that has a reference to it. etc etc. a million different things.so it has everything to do with your code

i want a stock category search
