Has anyone tried using the

N/ui/dialog

module in a

saveRecord

function from a client script. Would like to use NetSuite's nice looking dialogues instead of the browser's confirm boxes before saving but the dialog methods always generate promises. So I guess the real question is, can you run async code in a

saveRecord

function and have NetSuite wait for it to complete?

no, saveRecord is synchronous

Shoot, thought that might be the answer. NetSuite should really change that function to be able to return a Promise that resolves to a boolean instead of just a boolean.

I wrote my own Notification thingy to run checks on saveRecord and show the nice looking coloured messages at the top if some of the save checks failed

I usually go for the same approach as @jen. And if client scripts aren't available, you can do it in aftersubmit. Revert the changes, set a session variable and the redirect to the same page. A beforeload can pick up the session variable and display a message.

Nope. Usually just revert those fields that I've setup to validate. So it's not a full revert.

Do those jquery hacks not work anymore for doing that? Haha
