&gt;*AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):*
To show field IDs in NetSuite, you can use the NetSuite Field Explorer Chrome plugin. This tool allows you to search for values in fields and display their IDs. 

However, if you want to display the `externalId` on the NetSuite UI, it's not directly possible. The `externalId` can't be displayed on the UI like forms other than in saved searches. 

If you still need to see the `externalId` value, you can use the Field Explorer Chrome plugin or use the F12 key on your browser to inspect the element and find the `externalId`.
