AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
The error message you're seeing,
type: "error.SuiteScriptError", name: "DATE_EXPECTED", message: "You entered 'null' into a field where a calendar date was expected.\\nPlease go back and change this value to the correct date."
, is typically thrown when a date field in NetSuite is being set with a null or incorrect value. From the conversations, it seems that this error can occur in a few different scenarios: 1. When trying to set a date field with a null or non-date value. Make sure that the value you're trying to set is a valid date and not null. 2. When the date format doesn't match the user's or the company's expected format. For example, if your account/user expects
"7-May-2010"
but you're trying to set
"5/7/2010"
, you'll get this error. 3. When the value being set is a string and not a Date object. If the value is coming from a source like a post body, it might be a string. In this case, you'll need to convert it to a Date object before setting it. 4. When the date field is sourced from another field and "Store Value" is not set on the column. In this case, the sourced field might be overwriting the value you're trying to set. To resolve this issue, you can try the following: - Ensure that the value you're setting is a valid date and not null. - Check the date format expected by your account/user and make sure the value you're setting matches this format. - If the value is a string, convert it to a Date object before setting it. - If the date field is sourced from another field, ensure that "Store Value" is set on the column. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
