How to create calculated field using Saved Search to set a field on the item record

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To create a calculated field using a Saved Search to set a field on the item record, you can follow these steps: 1. Create a custom field of the type that matches your calculation result (e.g., integer, text, etc.) on the item record. You can do this by navigating to

Customization > Lists, Records, & Fields > Item Fields > New

. 2. In the custom field definition, uncheck the "Store Value" option. This will allow the field to calculate its value dynamically based on the formula you will provide. 3. In the "Validation & Defaulting" subtab, you can specify your formula in the "Default Value" field. This formula will be used to calculate the value of the custom field. 4. If your calculated field is based on a saved search, you might need to create a workflow or a SuiteScript to push the values from the saved search into your custom field. This is because calculated fields in NetSuite do not directly support pulling data from saved searches. 5. If you want to use this calculated field in a saved search, you will need to create another custom field that stores the value of the calculated field. You can use a workflow or a SuiteScript to copy the value from the calculated field to this stored field. 6. Now, you can use this stored field in your saved searches. Remember, the formula you use in the "Default Value" field of the custom field should be written in NetSuite's formula syntax. Also, the fields used in the formula should be available on the item record. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
