I can set the

externalid

field on a record using SuiteScript, but it doesn’t seem that I can clear that field with SuiteScript. Is there a way to clear the

externalid

field?

i'm pretty sure this id do-able beyond documentation (just can't be set if the before submit context) i'd try '' then null; but this is fairly do-able

My script is running in the after submit context, but both null and empty string don’t seem to do anything. I’ve tried using

submitFields

and

load

,

setValue

,

save

.

you're right even by csv import i can't "Nullify it" only update it with a new value

Thanks for trying!

Thanks for that article. It’s weird, that’s a recently dated article. I copied his script into a MU script verbatim and it does not clear out the external ID field for me.

ive never known external id to be nullable

I had saved this to try because I had always been told it wasn't nullable, only able to set it to '' but Prolecto usually knows what they are doing :)
