tell me more about record.submitFields()

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

The

record.submitFields()

method in SuiteScript is a powerful tool that allows you to update field values on a record without having to load the entire record into memory. This can be particularly useful for improving performance in scripts that need to update a large number of records. Here is a basic example of how to use `record.submitFields()`:

javascript
var result = record.submitFields({
    type: record.Type.ASSEMBLY_ITEM,
    id: idRecord,
    values: {
        custitem_myfield1: newValue
    }
});

In this example,

record.Type.ASSEMBLY_ITEM

is the type of the record you want to update,

idRecord

is the internal ID of the record, and

custitem_myfield1

is the field you want to update with

newValue

. If you want to use a variable to specify the field ID, you can do so in SuiteScript 2.1. If you're using SuiteScript 2.0, you can achieve the same result with a slightly different syntax:

javascript
var recField = "custitem_myfield1";
var values = {};
values[recField] = newValue;

var result = record.submitFields({
  type: record.Type.ASSEMBLY_ITEM,
  id: idRecord,
  values: values,
});

In this example,

recField

is a variable that holds the field ID. The

values

object is created and the field ID and value are added to it before being passed to

record.submitFields()
