I am using record.submitFields, and I keep getting the error Missing a required argument: type when using "record.Type.CUSTOMER" as my type, but when I change it to 'customer', the script works. Why will this method not take the 'record.Type' field?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

The

record.submitFields

method in SuiteScript 2.0 requires the record type to be passed as a string. When you use

record.Type.CUSTOMER

, you are referencing an enumeration value, which is not a string. This is why you are getting the error "Missing a required argument: type". When you change it to 'customer', you are passing a string, which is the correct data type for the

type

parameter in the

record.submitFields

method. This is why your script works when you use 'customer' instead of

record.Type.CUSTOMER

. Here is an example of how to use

record.submitFields

correctly:

javascript
var recordId = record.submitFields({
    type: 'customer',
    id: 123,
    values: {
        'custbody_reject_reason': 'Some reason'
    },
    options: {
        enableSourcing: false,
        ignoreMandatoryFields : true
    }
});
