How can I access a child record using getSublist?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
To access a child record using
getSublist
in SuiteScript, you need to know the internal ID of the sublist. You can retrieve the sublist IDs in a record using the
getSublists()
method. Here is an example:
Copy code
javascript
const sublists = parentRecord.getSublists();
This will return an array of the sublist IDs in the parent record. You can then use these IDs with the
getSublist
method to access the sublist. However, if you are trying to access a child record sublist in a parent record and
getSublist
is returning null, it might be due to the following reasons: 1. The child record does not have 'Allow Child Editing' enabled. This needs to be enabled to be accessible via the sublist. 2. The linking field in the child record does not have 'Show in list' checked. This also needs to be enabled for the sublist to be accessible. If you are still unable to access the sublist, you might need to load the same record through
record.load()
and fetch the sublist values from there. This is not the most efficient way, but it should get the job done. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
