AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
In SuiteScript, you cannot load a record without knowing its type. The record type is a required parameter when loading a record. However, if you want to get the record type of the 'createdFrom' record of a transaction, you can use the
getValue
method on the 'createdFrom' field to get the internal ID of the 'createdFrom' record. Then, you can load the 'createdFrom' record and use the
type
property to get the record type. Here is a sample code snippet:
Copy code
javascript
var createdFromId = record.getValue({
    fieldId: 'createdfrom'
});

var createdFromRecord = record.load({
    type: record.Type.SALES_ORDER, // replace with the actual record type
    id: createdFromId
});

var recordType = createdFromRecord.type;
Please note that you need to replace
record.Type.SALES_ORDER
with the actual record type of the 'createdFrom' record. In SuiteScript 2.0, you can get the record type of the current record from the context object in a User Event Script or a Client Script. Here is how you can do it:
Copy code
javascript
var recordType = context.newRecord.type;
