AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
In SuiteScript, you can use the
N/error
module to throw an error in a User Event Script. However, it's important to note that throwing an error in a User Event Script will not prevent the record from being saved and will not display an error to the user in the UI. The error will only be logged in the script execution log. If you want to prevent a record from being saved and display an error to the user in the UI, you will need to use a Client Script. In the Client Script, you can use the
saveRecord
entry point to validate the record before it is saved. If the validation fails, you can display an error to the user using the
alert
function and prevent the record from being saved by returning
false
from the
saveRecord
function. Here is a simple example of how you can do this:
Copy code
javascript
/**
 * @NApiVersion 2.x
 * @NScriptType ClientScript
 */
define([], function() {
    function saveRecord(context) {
        var record = context.currentRecord;
        // Perform your validation here...
        var isValid = true; // Replace this with your actual validation logic
        if (!isValid) {
            alert('Error: The record is not valid.');
            return false;
        }
        return true;
    }
    return {
        saveRecord: saveRecord
    };
});
In this example, replace the
isValid
variable with your actual validation logic. If the record is not valid, an error message will be displayed to the user and the record will not be saved. Please note that Client Scripts will not work for CSV uploads or integrations. For CSV uploads, you can throw an error in a User Event Script's
beforeSubmit
entry point, which will result in the CSV line failing. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
