what's the proper way of calling a second script with the task module from a beforeSubmit function? what type of script should the second script be? How can I pass and access the parameters?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To call a second script from a beforeSubmit function, you can use the task module in NetSuite SuiteScript. The second script should be a Scheduled Script or Map/Reduce script because User Event scripts and Client scripts cannot be scheduled. Here's a basic example of how you can create a task for a Scheduled Script:

javascript
var scriptTask = task.create({taskType: task.TaskType.SCHEDULED_SCRIPT});
scriptTask.scriptId = 'customscript_my_scheduled_script';
scriptTask.deploymentId = 'customdeploy_my_scheduled_script';
var scriptTaskId = scriptTask.submit();

To pass parameters to the second script, you can use the

params

property of the task object:

javascript
scriptTask.params = {
    custscript_my_param: 'my value'
};

In the second script, you can access these parameters using the

runtime

module:

javascript
var scriptParam = runtime.getCurrentScript().getParameter({name: 'custscript_my_param'});

Remember that the parameter name should be prefixed with 'custscript_' and the parameter should be defined in the script record in NetSuite. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
