how to use record.type as script parameter

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To use

record.type

as a script parameter in SuiteScript, you can access it from the record object that is passed into your script context. This can be useful when you want the same script to behave slightly differently depending on the type of record that triggered it. Here's an example of how you might use

record.type

in a script:

javascript
function afterSubmit(context) {
    var record = context.newRecord;
    var recordType = record.type;

    if (recordType === 'salesorder') {
        // Do something for sales orders
    } else if (recordType === 'purchaseorder') {
        // Do something for purchase orders
    }
}

In this example, the

afterSubmit

function is triggered after a record is submitted. The

context.newRecord

object contains the new state of the record that was just submitted. The

record.type

property gives you the type of the record. If you want to set a script parameter with code rather than the UI, you can use the

record.submitFields

method. However, this is undocumented and may break at any time. Here's an example:

javascript
record.submitFields({
    id: deploymentInternalId,
    type: record.Type.SCRIPT_DEPLOYMENT,
    values: {
        "custscript_interco_je_last_run_date": format.format({type: format.Type.DATETIME, value: runDate.toDate()}),
    },
})

In this example, the

record.submitFields

method is used to set a script parameter (

custscript_interco_je_last_run_date

) to the last run date of the script. Alternatively, you could use custom records or the

runtime.getCurrentSession

method to store and retrieve dynamic parameters for your script. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
