09/24/2021, 3:58 PMI added a custom field to the Address Form. I'd like to extract this custom field from both Setup->Company->Location level as well as customer records via Sales Orders or Fulfillment transactions.
I'm progressing, but not sure if I should be using record or search to get the location information.

09/24/2021, 4:15 PMdo whatever is most convenient to you in a map/reduce script

09/24/2021, 4:18 PMperformance is usually irrelevant for client script, the https request will take longer than getting the data
battk
09/24/2021, 4:18 PMusually that means minimizing the number of https requests you make

09/24/2021, 5:53 PMIs a record also the base of an Address Form? i.e. I need to get the Location or Customer record and navigate to the address form field I need?

09/24/2021, 6:03 PMforms are more layouts, and have a lot more meaning in the ui than they do in a script
battk
09/24/2021, 6:04 PMyour records have address subrecords, which is how you would access the address related fields
battk
09/24/2021, 6:07 PMsimilarly, searches have joins to access the address
battk
09/24/2021, 6:08 PMsame thing with queries, they have access to joins too
