In context field Type what is the difference between Set and Unset

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In the context of NetSuite, the terms 'Set' and 'Unset' are often used in relation to fields in scripts or workflows. 'Set' is used when you want to assign a value to a field. This could be a static value or a value derived from some logic in your script or workflow. For example, in a SuiteScript, you might use the

setValue

method to set a value to a field on a record. On the other hand, 'Unset' is used when you want to remove or clear the value of a field. This is typically done when you want to ensure that a field does not contain any value. In SuiteScript, you might achieve this by setting the field's value to an empty string or null. Here is an example of setting and unsetting a field in SuiteScript:

code
// Set the value of a field
record.setValue({
    fieldId: 'custbody_some_field',
    value: 'Some Value'
});

// Unset the value of a field
record.setValue({
    fieldId: 'custbody_some_field',
    value: ''
});

Please note that not all fields can be unset. For instance, in the provided conversations, it was mentioned that 'custpage_x' fields cannot be unset in a User Event (UE) script because they are client-side only fields that a client script would have access to from the form, not the record. They are not real fields on the record, they're just temporary fields on the form in the UI and are not stored to the Database at all. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
