Is it possible to prevent files with the same name from being uploaded and overwritten via script?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Yes, it is possible to prevent files with the same name from being uploaded and overwritten via script in NetSuite. However, this would require some additional logic in your script to check if a file with the same name already exists in the target folder before attempting to upload a new file. Here is a sample code snippet that demonstrates this:

javascript
var fileType = file.Type.PLAINTEXT;
var folder = <FOLDER ID>;
var name = 'test.txt';

// Search for existing file with the same name in the target folder
var filters = [
    search.createFilter({
        name: 'name',
        operator: <http://search.Operator.IS|search.Operator.IS>,
        values: [name]
    }),
    search.createFilter({
        name: 'folder',
        operator: search.Operator.ANYOF,
        values: [folder]
    })
];
var searchResult = search.create({
    type: 'file',
    filters: filters
}).run().getRange({start: 0, end: 1});

// If no existing file is found, create a new file
if (searchResult.length === 0) {
    file.create({ fileType: fileType, folder: folder, name: name, contents: 'First' }).save();
}

This script first performs a search in the file cabinet to check if a file with the same name already exists in the target folder. If no such file is found, it proceeds to create and save a new file. If a file with the same name already exists, the script does nothing, effectively preventing the existing file from being overwritten. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
