populate a custom entity field with results of a transaction saved search result

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To populate a custom entity field with results of a transaction saved search result, you can follow these steps: 1. Create a free-form text custom field that will be populated with the summarized saved search. This field will hold the internal id of the list/record. 2. Create a second custom field with the 'Store Value' option enabled and set the type to 'List/Record'. 3. Create a workflow to set the field value. This workflow will copy the value from the free-form text custom field (which holds the saved search result) to the List/Record custom field. Here is a sample of how you can set the field value in a workflow:

javascript
var workflow = nlapiCreateRecord('workflow');
workflow.setFieldValue('name', 'Set Field Value');
workflow.setFieldValue('recordtype', 'customrecord_my_custom_record');

var state = workflow.createSubrecord('workflowstates');
state.setFieldValue('statedefinition', 'start');

var action = state.createSubrecord('workflowactions');
action.setFieldValue('actiontype', 'setfieldvalue');
action.setFieldValue('field', 'custrecord_my_custom_field');
action.setFieldValue('value', 'custrecord_my_free_form_text_field');

var workflowId = nlapiSubmitRecord(workflow);
