UNSUPPORTED_DATA_FORMAT custom data source N/render

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, the

UNSUPPORTED_DATA_FORMAT

error occurs when you are trying to pass an array or a string to the

addCustomDataSource

method of the

render

module in SuiteScript. This method expects an object, not an array or a string. Here is an example of how to correctly use the

addCustomDataSource

method:

javascript
renderer.addCustomDataSource({
    format: render.DataSource.OBJECT,
    alias: 'results',
    data: {results: [{custrecord_lpn_parent : 'LPN00000001'}]}
});

In this example, the

data

property is an object that contains an array. The

format

property is set to

render.DataSource.OBJECT

, which indicates that the data source is an object. If you need to pass an array, you can wrap it in an object:

javascript
var array = [...];
var obj = { arr: array };
renderer.addCustomDataSource(... obj ...);

In this example, the array is wrapped in an object and then passed to the

addCustomDataSource

method. If you are trying to pass a string, you should convert it to an object first. For example, if you have a JSON string, you can use

JSON.parse

to convert it to an object:

javascript
var jsonString = '{"key":"value"}';
var obj = JSON.parse(jsonString);
renderer.addCustomDataSource(... obj ...);

In this example, the JSON string is converted to an object and then passed to the

addCustomDataSource

method. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
