Can I source a multi-select field from another multi-select field that references the same custom list or record type? If so, how?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, it appears that you cannot directly source a multi-select field from another multi-select field that references the same custom list or record type in NetSuite. The filtering field needs to be a single select field. If you try to filter a multi-select by another multi-select, it is not possible. However, there are workarounds to achieve similar functionality: 1. Using Workflows: You can use a workflow to source the value. This is mentioned in the first conversation. However, the specifics of how to do this are not provided in the conversations. 2. Using Scripting: You can use SuiteScript to create a scripted field and use

insertSelectOption

and

removeSelectOption

to filter the options of the field. This is mentioned in the first conversation. Here is a sample code snippet from the conversation:

javascript
    // Assuming you have a reference to the field
    field.insertSelectOption({
        value: 'option_value',
        text: 'option_text'
    });

3. Using Custom Sublists: As mentioned in the third conversation, you can create a custom sublist and use

Field.addSelectOption

to add your own options. This is more flexible than setting filtering criteria in SuiteBuilder, but it requires scripting. Remember, these are workarounds and may not work in all scenarios. Always test thoroughly before implementing in a production environment. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
