function beforeLoad({ form }) {
var newField = form.addField({
id: 'custpage_test',
label: 'CustPage Test',
type: ui.FieldType.TEXT
});
form.insertField({
field: newField,
nextfield: 'entityid'
});
}j

11/26/2024, 11:14 PMThat was an example. Depending on how many record types you need this to run on, you could maintain a mapping object of transaction type to first field name and use that to decide which field it should be put before. It might be too cumbersome if you have a lot of records. You could also store the map in a script parameter to make it easier to update in the future.
Copy code
const { type } = context.newRecord;
const fieldMap = {
employee: 'entityid',
salesorder: 'customform'
};
const firstField = fieldMap[type] || 'entityid';
form.insertField({
field: newField,
nextfield: firstField
});j
