How to upload and associate a contact record to the partner contact sublist? straight csv upload not linking to partner sublist

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To upload and associate a contact record to the partner contact sublist, you would need to follow a two-step process as NetSuite does not allow direct linking of contacts to partners via CSV upload. 1. Create the Contact Record: You can create a contact record using SuiteScript's

record.create

method. Here is a sample code snippet:

javascript
var contactRecord = record.create({
    type: record.Type.CONTACT,
    isDynamic: true
});
contactRecord.setValue({
    fieldId: 'firstname',
    value: 'John'
});
contactRecord.setValue({
    fieldId: 'lastname',
    value: 'Doe'
});
var contactId = contactRecord.save();

2. Link the Contact to the Partner Record: After creating the contact record, you can then link it to the partner record using the

setValue

method. Here is a sample code snippet:

javascript
var partnerRecord = record.load({
    type: record.Type.PARTNER,
    id: 'partnerId',
    isDynamic: true
});
partnerRecord.selectNewLine({
    sublistId: 'contactroles'
});
partnerRecord.setCurrentSublistValue({
    sublistId: 'contactroles',
    fieldId: 'contact',
    value: contactId
});
partnerRecord.commitLine({
    sublistId: 'contactroles'
});
partnerRecord.save();

Please replace

'partnerId'

with the actual ID of the partner record you want to link the contact to. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
