Set multi-select value using suitescript

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To set multiple values on a Multiselect field using SuiteScript, you can use an array of IDs for the values you want to select. Here is an example:

javascript
rec.setValue({fieldId: theFieldId, value: [1,3]})

This code sets the values of the multiselect field identified by

theFieldId

to the values 1 and 3. As for updating the multi-select field value using

record.submitFields

, it should work server-side. However, it might not work in the console, and the exact reason for this is not clear from the provided conversations. To determine if a field is a single select or a multiple select via SuiteScript, you can use the

getField

method and check the type of the field. Here is an example:

javascript
var objField = objSublist.getField({
   fieldId: 'item'
});

if(objField.type === 'checkbox'){
   //Perform an action
}

This code gets the field identified by 'item' and checks if its type is 'checkbox'. If it is, it performs an action. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
