Just a thought, is there anyway to compute the total/sum of a sublist items without looping through?

with NFT, summing the total quantity of items on a sales order is as simple as
```_.sum(salesorder.item, line=&gt; line.quantity)```

same idea for summing any other numeric field on the line.

I very rarely write any loops - they are error prone and not descriptive of their purpose without reverse engineering.

in contrast `_.sum` is very clear as to what it's doing, IMHO (well, and the opinion of thousands of other devs :slightly_smiling_face: )

<@U5375UUJ2> - curious, what does NFT stands for? and how do you get the salesorder.item object/prop? thanks so much

<@UEWBBMSTX> it stands for NetSuite Fasttrack Toolkit.
