how can we deep copy a record in netsuite script?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In NetSuite SuiteScript, you can deep copy a record using the

record.copy

method. However, this method requires the record to be already saved in NetSuite as it needs an internal id of the saved record. If you want to create a copy of a record which is yet to be saved (

record.save()

), you can store all the fields you want to copy from one record to the next in an array. Then when you create the copy, you can run through the array to move the fields over. Here is a code sample:

javascript
const parentRecord = record.create({type, isDynamic: true});

const fieldsToCopy = ['field1', 'field2', 'field3'];

const childRecord = record.create({type, isDynamic: true});

fieldsToCopy.forEach(field => {
  childRecord.setValue({
    fieldId: field,
    value: parentRecord.getValue(field)
  });
});

In this code,

parentRecord

is the original record and

childRecord

is the new record that you want to create.

fieldsToCopy

is an array of field names that you want to copy from the original record to the new record. The

forEach

loop goes through each field in the

fieldsToCopy

array and sets the value of that field in the new record to the value of the same field in the original record. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
