I'm trying to update a saved search using this function

function updateSearch(existingSearch, billIds) {
        log.debug("Updating existing search for search:", existingSearch)

        var loadedSearch = search.load({
            id: existingSearch
        });

        loadedSearch.filters = [
            search.createFilter({
                name: 'internalId',
                operator: search.Operator.ANYOF,
                values: billIds
            })
        ];
        loadedSearch.save();
    }

but I'm getting: TypeError: Cannot read property "values" from null I verified and the billIds array is properly populated, what could be causing this issue?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

The error you're encountering,

TypeError: Cannot read property "values" from null

, is likely due to the fact that you're trying to directly assign a new filter to the

filters

property of a loaded search. In SuiteScript, when you load a saved search, the

filters

property is read-only. You cannot directly assign a new filter to it. Instead, you should create a new array of filters and then use the

filterExpression

property to apply these filters to your search. Here's how you can modify your function to do this:

javascript
function updateSearch(existingSearch, billIds) {
    log.debug("Updating existing search for search:", existingSearch)

    var loadedSearch = search.load({
        id: existingSearch
    });

    var newFilters = [
        search.createFilter({
            name: 'internalId',
            operator: search.Operator.ANYOF,
            values: billIds
        })
    ];

    loadedSearch.filterExpression = newFilters;
    loadedSearch.save();
}

In this modified function, we're creating a new array of filters (in this case, just one filter) and then using the

filterExpression

property to apply these filters to the loaded search. This should resolve the error you're seeing. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
