AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
To source a select field with the addresses of a specific customer, you can create a custom field and use a client script to populate the addresses for the specific customers. This custom field can be a single select address field. When the record is being saved, you can set the actual field, which is hidden, based on the custom field. Here is a step-by-step guide: 1. Create a custom body field of type 'Address'. This field will be used to source the addresses from the customer. You can do this by navigating to
Customization > Lists, Records, & Fields > Transaction Body Fields > New
. 2. In the definition of the custom field, set the
Source List
to 'Address Book' and
Source From
to 'Entity'. This will ensure that the field sources the addresses from the customer's address book. 3. Create a client script that populates the custom field with the addresses of the specific customer. The script should be triggered on the 'fieldChanged' event of the customer field on the transaction record. 4. In the script, use the
record.load
method to load the customer record and get the addresses from the address book sub-list. Then, use the
field.insertSelectOption
method to add the addresses to the custom field. 5. Deploy the client script on the transaction record. 6. Create another custom field of type 'Text Area' to hold the text of the address. This is because the address book field only shows the address label. 7. In the client script, add code to populate the text area field with the text of the selected address when the address field is changed. Please note that this approach requires knowledge of SuiteScript and the NetSuite customization framework. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
