I am currently working on creating an extension using extension dev tool 24.1.2. Currently, I want to fetch the user profile data for the extension. I am using Profile.Model to get the appropriate user information. However, I want to fetch a field from customer record named "category". I believe this is a native field but for some reason I am not able to fetch this field using the user profile model. Does anyone know how i will be able to fetch this field from the customer record?
Looking forward to your response.

10/15/2024, 5:35 PMUse the Commerce API - use getFieldValues(), specifying 'category' as the field you want https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/saas/netsuite/ns-online-help/section_N2503226.html#bridgehead_4479558894

10/16/2024, 2:48 PMWe have a specific API for 'customer data' as well as an existing data model for the 'customer profile'. So, it seems to me prudent to find the right way to leverage those for what you want.
