****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ****** In NetSuite, you can apply field level security to custom fields, but not to native fields. You can change the label, hide/show, or set a field as mandatory for native fields, but you cannot restrict their visibility to specific roles or users. This is a limitation of the NetSuite platform. However, you can use a workaround to achieve a similar effect. You can create custom fields that mirror the native fields you want to restrict, and then apply field level security to these custom fields. Then, you can hide the native fields on the forms where they appear. This way, users will only see and interact with the custom fields, whose visibility you can control. Remember, this is a workaround and not a native feature of NetSuite. It may not work in all scenarios and may require additional development work to implement.
