can a custom field be formatted as a table?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In NetSuite, a custom field cannot be directly formatted as a table. However, there are workarounds to achieve a similar result. One way is to store data in JSON format in a hidden text field and then display it in different ways. This could involve parsing the JSON into a

<table>

in an HTML field using a template syntax. However, this method requires careful consideration of the lifecycle of the data and how else you might use it. Another approach is to create a custom record as a child, and then display it as a sublist on the form. This would allow users to select a field based on a dropdown and then input corresponding details for each one, similar to a table. If you want to show data from customer records (custom fields) on other forms, such as a sales order, you can use the sourcing and filtering tab to source the data from the customer record if the fields on the sales order are custom fields. If they are native fields, you would need a workflow. Alternatively, you could create a custom tab and custom sublist which would just be a saved search that returns the information you're looking for. Remember, these are workarounds and not a direct way to format a custom field as a table in NetSuite. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
