Using Typescript and SuiteScript 2.1, create a client script that will show or hide a field in VIEW mode

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, you can create a client script using TypeScript and SuiteScript 2.1 to show or hide a field in VIEW mode. However, it's important to note that client scripts do not run in view mode. Therefore, you would need to hide the fields in a beforeLoad UserEvent. Here is a sample code snippet that you can use as a reference:

typescript
import { EntryPoints } from 'N/types';
import * as record from 'N/record';
import * as serverWidget from 'N/ui/serverWidget';

export function beforeLoad(context: EntryPoints.UserEvent.beforeLoadContext) {
    if (context.type !== context.UserEventType.VIEW) return;

    const form = context.form;
    const myField = form.getField({ id: 'custbody_myfield' });
    const value = context.newRecord.getValue({ fieldId: 'custbody_myfield' });

    if (value === 'hideme') {
        myField.updateDisplayType({ displayType: serverWidget.FieldDisplayType.HIDDEN });
    } else if (value === 'showme') {
        myField.updateDisplayType({ displayType: serverWidget.FieldDisplayType.NORMAL });
    }
}

In this script, we are using the

beforeLoad

user event to check the value of the field 'custbody_myfield'. If the value is 'hideme', we hide the field. If the value is 'showme', we display the field. Remember to replace 'custbody_myfield' with the actual id of your field. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
