I have a scripted record, is there a way to make a field mandatory on that record ?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Yes, you can make a field mandatory on a scripted record in NetSuite. This can be done using SuiteScript, specifically within a User Event (UE) script or a Client script. In a User Event script, you can use the

isMandatory

property to make a field mandatory. Here is an example:

code
function beforeLoad(scriptContext) {
    if (scriptContext.type !== scriptContext.UserEventType.CREATE)
        return;

    var form = scriptContext.form;
    var field = form.getField('custbody_some_custom_field');
    field.isMandatory = true;
}

In a Client script, you can also use the

isMandatory

property, but it should be noted that this will only add a visual indicator (a red asterisk) next to the field. It does not actually enforce the field to be mandatory. Here is an example:

code
function pageInit(scriptContext) {
    var currentRecord = scriptContext.currentRecord;
    var field = currentRecord.getField('custbody_some_custom_field');
    field.isMandatory = true;
}

To enforce the field to be mandatory in a Client script, you would need to add a validation in the

saveRecord

entry point to check if the field is empty or not. If it's empty, return false to prevent the record from being saved and provide an alert to the user. Here is an example:

code
function saveRecord(scriptContext) {
    var currentRecord = scriptContext.currentRecord;
    var fieldValue = currentRecord.getValue('custbody_some_custom_field');

    if (!fieldValue) {
        alert('Please fill in the mandatory field.');
        return false;
    }

    return true;
}
