AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
enableSourcing is an option used in NetSuite's SuiteScript when working with records. It is primarily used for sourcing dependent fields rather than updating sourced values. When you set enableSourcing to true, it allows the system to populate fields based on sourcing and field defaults defined in the system. This is particularly useful when you want to create a new record that has many fields that are sourced from other records. Here's an example of how it can be used:
Copy code
javascript
var record = record.create({
    type: record.Type.SALES_ORDER,
    isDynamic: true,
    defaultValues: {
        entity: customerId
    },
    enableSourcing: true
});
In this example, when creating a new sales order, the
enableSourcing
option is set to true. This means that when the
entity
field is set with a
customerId
, all other fields on the sales order that are sourced from the customer record will be automatically populated. Please note that enableSourcing does not update sourced values. If you need to source a value based on some other unrelated field on the record, you might need to use workflows or scripting. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
