When using a Transaction type for a custom field on a record, in the UI what is used to search for the transaction?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

When using a Transaction type for a custom field on a record, in the UI, the internal id of the transaction type is used to search for the transaction. This internal id is not the text value (like 'salesorder') but a unique identifier assigned by NetSuite. If you are trying to match a current transaction to a list record, you might encounter an issue where the custom record transaction type field requires the internal id of the transaction type, not the text value. One solution to this issue is to use a

Scripted Record Type

as the source of your list/record field. You can add a filter on the field so that the

List/Record

or

Search Type

is a Transaction to limit the selections to transaction types. Then, you can have another field that uses sourcing to source the script id so that you have your script id to search against. Another solution is to hardcode a lookup between internal ids and script ids for the transaction type. If you want to include non-transaction records, you should not use transaction type as the list/record source. Instead, you can use

Scripted Record Type

without the filter. If you are trying to determine the type of the transaction that a child record is on, you can use a transaction search or query to get the record type. Alternatively, you can use another field to source the type if you are willing to write a lookup to convert the name to the id. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
