'N/record' to create a record and set multiple fields in an API efficient way.

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ****** To create a record and set multiple fields in an API efficient way, you can use the

N/record

module in SuiteScript 2.0. However, there is no set-based API for creating multiple instances of a custom record type at a time, in any version of SuiteScript. If you have a large volume of data, such as more than 10,000 lines, creating records using

record.create

and

record.save

can be time-consuming and consume a lot of API governance. One workaround is to use a Map/Reduce script to spread the record creates out over several parallel Map phases. This is particularly useful if you have a SuiteCloud Plus license, but it can still be beneficial even if you don't. Another option is to use parent-child relationships to perform mass creates. This is outlined in section

2.3.4 Using Parent-Child Relationships to Perform Mass Create/Update

of the SuiteAnswers Full Access (SAFE) guide. Here is a sample code snippet for creating a record and setting multiple fields:

javascript
var fieldsToGet = {
    field1: null,
    field2: null,
    field3: null,
    field4: null,
    field5: null,
    field6: null,
    field7: null,
}
for (var fieldId in fieldsToGet){
    fieldsToGet[fieldId] = originalRec.getValue(fieldId);
}
for (var fieldId2 in fieldsToGet){
    newRec.setValue(fieldId2, fieldsToGet[fieldId2]);
}

Please note that this is just a sample and you would need to adjust it according to your specific needs.
