I am in netsuite, and am using the customRecord module in a client script. I am trying to get the value from a field in edit mode on a list/record field. The value is set but I am getting null, why would that happen?

****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ****** The issue you're experiencing with getting null values from a field in edit mode on a list/record field in NetSuite using the customRecord module in a client script could be due to several reasons: 1. Field Accessibility: The field you're trying to access might not be available in the context you're trying to access it. For example, some fields are not available in view mode, and some fields are not available until the record is saved. 2. Timing of the Script: If you're trying to access the field value in a beforeLoad script, the field value might not be set yet. The beforeLoad script runs before the record is loaded into the UI, so the field value might not be available at that time. 3. Field ID: Make sure you're using the correct field ID. The field ID is case-sensitive and must be exactly as it is in the record definition. 4. Record Mode: If the record is in dynamic mode, you should use

record.getCurrentSublistValue({sublistId: 'sublistId', fieldId: 'fieldId'})

to get the field value. If the record is in standard mode, you should use

record.getSublistValue({sublistId: 'sublistId', fieldId: 'fieldId', line: lineNumber})

. 5. Field Type: If the field is a select field,

getValue

will return the internal ID of the selected option, not the display value. You should use

getText

to get the display value. 6. Record Loading: If you're trying to access the field value in a client script, you might need to load the record first using

record.load({type: record.Type.SALES_ORDER, id: 'recordId'})

. Remember to always check the API documentation and ensure that the method you're using is supported in the context you're using it.
