How to get custom field values using n/currentRecord module when record is in VIEW mode. Client script is executing on button click where the button was added through a UE script

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In NetSuite, when you are in VIEW mode, the

N/currentRecord

module does not contain all the field values. It only contains the

recordtype

and

id

. This is why you are getting

undefined

when trying to access custom field values using

N/currentRecord.get().getValue()

or

N/currentRecord.get().getText()

. However, you can use the

recordtype

and

id

to load the record using

N/record.load()

or

N/search.lookupFields()

to retrieve the custom field values. Here is an example of how you can do this:

javascript
define(['N/record', 'N/currentRecord'], function(record, currentRecord) {
    function handleButtonClick() {
        var rec = currentRecord.get();
        var recordType = rec.type;
        var recordId = rec.id;

        // Load the record
        var loadedRecord = record.load({
            type: recordType,
            id: recordId
        });

        // Get the custom field value
        var customFieldValue = loadedRecord.getValue({ fieldId: 'customfield' });
    }

    return {
        handleButtonClick: handleButtonClick
    };
});

In this example,

handleButtonClick

is the function that is executed when the button is clicked. It first gets the current record and its type and id. Then it loads the record using

N/record.load()

. Finally, it retrieves the custom field value using

getValue()

. Remember, this approach will work only if the record is not in edit mode, as

N/currentRecord

does not work in edit mode. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
