has anyone used put.promise, or any http method . promise, in a restlet?

I am adding a record using a promise, and that returns an id.

```createRecordPromise.then(objRecord =&gt; {

    objRecord.setValue({
        fieldId: 'subsidiary',
        value: '1'
    });

    row_id = objRecord.save({
        enableSourcing: false,
        ignoreMandatoryFields: false
    });```


and I would like to return the id in the response

I am using the code generated from the webstorm plugin for my PUT...

```/**
 * Defines the function that is executed when a PUT request is sent to a RESTlet.
 * @param {string | Object} requestBody - The HTTP request body; request body are passed as a string when request
 *     Content-Type is 'text/plain' or parsed into an Object when request Content-Type is 'application/json' (in which case
 *     the body must be a valid JSON)
 * @returns {string | Object} HTTP response body; returns a string when request Content-Type is 'text/plain'; returns an
 *     Object when request Content-Type is 'application/json' or 'application/xml'
 * @since 2015.2
 */
const put = (requestBody) =&gt; {```


I would like to say something like const request = put.promise() or something like that

(aka...I cannot return my row_id because my PUT is not async)

use <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/JavaScript/Asynchronous/Async_await|async and await>

specifically, make your put function an async function, so that you can await the row_id

I tell you how it works out, either way...thank you again

i personally dont trust the promises in suitescript

I wonder if I even need a promise if I am using async/await

I will test it both ways...I suppose it depends on the save function

OR I could just not use any kind of async

well if you do not use them, that seems good enough for me.

I think I am just not going to use them...lol.  and see what happens.
