How to get the source of a select field on a NetSuite record?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To get the source of a select field on a NetSuite record, you can use the

getSelectOptions

method if you are working with SuiteScript. However, this method will only return the select options and you will have to infer the source from these options. If you are trying to build a dynamic suitelet based on the fields defined on a custom record, you might need to do some additional steps. You can create a custom record which has select fields for

Record Type

and

Field

. You can set up the

Field

select field to filter on your Record Type select so that it only has options for the record type selected. Then, you can set up

Record Type

select field which uses sourcing to source from the

List/Record

. If you are trying to create a tool that allows a person to add dynamic columns and you have no way of knowing what field/record will be added ahead of time, you might need to add a field that would need to hold the internal id of the list/record for the select field. This is not an ideal solution as it adds a lot of room for the wrong data or other weird issues. Another option is to use the analytics data source used by workbooks which exposes custom field definitions. You can get the

List/Record

from there. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
