08/27/2021, 4:02 PMI have a suitlet with a select field that sources from a netsuite list that is placed in a sublist in the suitelet. When I click on the dropdown and then click "list" to see options. Nothing happens. No error, it just doesn't show the list.

battk
08/27/2021, 4:05 PMnetsuite uses a get to the suitelet to get the select options
battk
08/27/2021, 4:05 PMmake sure your suitelet responds to that get with the same form

Nicholas Williams
08/27/2021, 4:06 PMnot sure I follow @battk I have this at the bottom of the script
Nicholas Williams
08/27/2021, 4:06 PM Copy code
context.response.writePage(form);b
battk
08/27/2021, 4:07 PMlog the incoming request in your suitelet
battk
08/27/2021, 4:07 PMlook at the logs before and after you click list
n
Nicholas Williams
08/27/2021, 4:11 PMLooks to be the same one
Nicholas Williams
08/27/2021, 4:11 PMwith some added parameters
b
battk
08/27/2021, 4:12 PMyour suitelet needs to return the same form that it returned originally
battk
08/27/2021, 4:13 PMto that request with added parameters
n
Nicholas Williams
08/27/2021, 4:13 PMso you are saying it shouldn't be the one with added parameters or is fine
b
battk
08/27/2021, 4:14 PMim saying that your suitelet had to do the same thing for both get requests
battk
08/27/2021, 4:15 PMi could be more specific if you shared the code
n

08/27/2021, 4:16 PMtest.js
Nicholas Williams
08/27/2021, 4:16 PMline like 258 is the select that has issues
b
battk
08/27/2021, 4:17 PM Copy code
if (!wo.defaultValue) {
return;
}battk
08/27/2021, 4:17 PMthat doesnt write the same form
n
Nicholas Williams
08/27/2021, 4:17 PMadded that in cause another error was showing but it was happening before that line was added
b
battk
08/27/2021, 4:18 PMyou have multiple places that are conditional on the request having parameters
battk
08/27/2021, 4:18 PMthat will not be the case for the list's get
n
Nicholas Williams
08/27/2021, 4:18 PMso when the select does a get for the list and there are no params it has issues
b
battk
08/27/2021, 4:19 PMcorrect
n
Nicholas Williams
08/27/2021, 4:19 PMah okay. didn't realize selects do a get request when they have a source to a list in netsuite

08/27/2021, 4:42 PMnothing good comes from returning another form on a post
battk
08/27/2021, 4:42 PMthat said, what i said about returning the same form is not entirely true
battk
08/27/2021, 4:43 PMyou need to return a form with the field that its asking for
battk
08/27/2021, 4:43 PMwhich is what you may have to end up doing
n
Nicholas Williams
08/27/2021, 4:43 PMhow would I do that exactly?
b
battk
08/27/2021, 4:44 PMmy personal recomendation remains to return the same form, or rewrite your logic so that it returns mostly the same form
n
Nicholas Williams
08/27/2021, 4:46 PMsorry for the clarification, but when you say "return the same form" are you referring to the line here:
context.response.writePage(form);
b
battk
08/27/2021, 4:46 PMno
battk
08/27/2021, 4:47 PMall those addFields and addSublist calls are modifying the form
battk
08/27/2021, 4:47 PMyou need to return that same modified form
battk
08/27/2021, 4:49 PMyou can be more targeted if you want, you only need to make modifications related to the field in the GET
n
Nicholas Williams
08/27/2021, 4:50 PMI thought that is what was happneing. It's the same form element created from beginning that is being returned on writePage. is it not?
b
battk
08/27/2021, 4:50 PMit isnt, your code is branching on parameters that dont exist
n
Nicholas Williams
08/27/2021, 4:51 PMso where I have the if, else, else if
b
battk
08/27/2021, 4:53 PMagain, your code is too long and ugly
battk
08/27/2021, 4:53 PMbut as far as i can tell, it returns multiple different forms
battk
08/27/2021, 4:53 PMand relies on request parameters to determine which form to return
battk
08/27/2021, 4:54 PMthat logic fails for the select field
battk
08/27/2021, 4:54 PMsince you have to figure out which form to return based on a request parameter that wont have a value
n
Nicholas Williams
08/27/2021, 4:54 PMThat makes sense and I think I get it now. I'll do some testing. Really appreciate the help
