create a save button in netsuite

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To create a save button in NetSuite, you can use the

Form.addSubmitButton

method which will create a button that posts to your Suitelet. Here is an example:

javascript
form.addSubmitButton('Save');

If you want to create a custom "Save & ____" button, you can add a button on beforeLoad which triggers a client script. The client script sets the value of a hidden checkbox field to "true," then triggers the

click()

method on the Save button. In the afterSubmit, if that field value is true, you perform your conditional afterSubmit action and set the field to false.

javascript
form.addButton({
    id: 'custpage_mybutton',
    label: 'Save & ____',
    functionName: 'myFunction'
});

In your client script:

javascript
function myFunction() {
    var record = currentRecord.get();
    record.setValue('custpage_mycheckbox', true);
    document.getElementById('btn_multibutton_submitter').click();
}

In your afterSubmit user event script:

javascript
function afterSubmit(context) {
    var record = context.newRecord;
    if (record.getValue('custpage_mycheckbox')) {
        // Perform your action
        record.setValue('custpage_mycheckbox', false);
    }
}

If you need to identify which button a user has clicked in the form, you can check for the submitter value

var buttonValue = context.request.parameters.submitter;

. However, this is only applicable for Suitelet pages. For user event or client scripts, there isn't a direct way to identify which button was clicked. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
