Using Typescript, should an example client script that unsets a value in a TEXT type field

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, it is possible to unset a value in a TEXT type field using TypeScript in a client script. You can use the

currentRecord

reference and set the value to an empty string

""

. Here is an example:

typescript
let currentRecord = require('N/currentRecord');
let record = currentRecord.get();
record.setValue({
    fieldId: 'your_field_id',
    value: ""
});

In this example, replace

'your_field_id'

with the actual ID of your field. This will unset the value of the field, effectively clearing it. However, it's important to note that the behavior of setting a field to

null

is not consistent in SuiteScript 2.0. While it's supposed to clear a field, it doesn't always work as expected. For list/record fields, you can indeed use

value: []

to clear them. Remember, it's generally recommended to use

setValue

over

setText

, as

setText

can lead to unexpected results, especially with list/record fields. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
