how can I make the expense line 'attachment' field mandatory?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To make the expense line 'attachment' field mandatory, you can use SuiteScript, NetSuite's JavaScript-based API. Here's a step-by-step guide: 1. Create a new SuiteScript file. This will be a User Event Script that will run whenever an expense report is being created or edited. 2. In your SuiteScript, you will need to define a function for the

beforeSubmit

event. This function will be triggered before the record is saved. 3. Inside this function, you will need to get the 'attachment' field from the expense line and set it as mandatory. You can use the

record.getLineCount

method to loop through each line in the sublist and the

record.getSublistValue

method to get the value of the 'attachment' field for each line. 4. If the 'attachment' field is empty for any line, you can prevent the record from being saved and show an error message to the user. You can use the

record.createError

method to create a new error and the

record.preventDefault

method to prevent the record from being saved. Here's a sample code snippet:

javascript
function beforeSubmit(context) {
    var record = context.newRecord;
    var lineCount = record.getLineCount({sublistId: 'expense'});
    for (var i = 0; i < lineCount; i++) {
        var attachment = record.getSublistValue({sublistId: 'expense', fieldId: 'attachment', line: i});
        if (!attachment) {
            var error = record.createError({
                title: 'Missing Attachment',
                details: 'Please attach a file to all expense lines.',
                message: 'Please attach a file to all expense lines.'
            });
            record.preventDefault();
            throw error;
        }
    }
}

5. Save your SuiteScript file and upload it to the File Cabinet in NetSuite. 6. Create a new Script record in NetSuite and link it to your SuiteScript file. Set the Script Type to 'User Event Script' and the Applies To field to 'Expense Report'. 7. Deploy your script. Make sure to set the status to 'Testing' first to verify that everything works as expected before setting it to 'Released'. Please note that this is a simplified example and you may need to adjust the code to fit your specific needs. Also, make sure to thoroughly test your script before deploying it in a live environment. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
