how to revert a field to it’s default value in a client script?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To revert a field to its default value in a client script, you can use the

validateField

event in SuiteScript. This event is triggered whenever a field is changed on the client side. If the validation fails (i.e., the function returns

false

), the field value is reverted to its previous value. Here is a sample code snippet that demonstrates this:

javascript
function validateField(context) {
    var currentRecord = context.currentRecord;
    var field_name = context.fieldId;
    var price_level_id = currentRecord.getValue('pricelevel');

    if (field_name == 'pricelevel') {
        if (price_level_id == "") {
            alert("Value Must Exist")
            return false;
        }
    }
    return true;
}

In this example, the

validateField

function is checking if the 'pricelevel' field is empty. If it is, an alert is shown to the user and the function returns

false

, which causes the field to revert to its previous value. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
