how to set checkbox valu in netsuite to be true with suitescript

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In SuiteScript, you can set a checkbox value to be true by using the

setValue

method on the record object. The value for a checkbox field is typically a boolean

true

or

false

. However, in some contexts, it might be

'T'

or

'F'

(strings) instead. Here is a general example:

javascript
record.setValue({
    fieldId: 'yourCheckboxFieldId',
    value: true
});

In the context of your question, if you are trying to set a checkbox on a task record, you might be encountering an issue because checking that checkbox sends an email to the assignee when you save, so it's instantly unchecked. This is expected behavior according to the NetSuite help page. If you are trying to set a checkbox on a vendor record, such as the 1099 Eligible checkbox, there might be additional conditions that need to be met. For example, the checkbox might only be able to be checked if the vendor's address is in the US. If you are trying to set a custom checkbox on a location record using the

submitField

API and are encountering issues, it might be due to a workflow or script that is automatically setting the value to false. Please note that the exact fieldId and conditions will depend on your specific NetSuite setup. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
