how to disable editing a sublist field in client script field change netsuite

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To disable editing a sublist field in a client script field change in NetSuite, you can use the

nlapiDisableLineItemField(type, fldnam, val, linenum)

method in SuiteScript 1.0. This method disables a line item field on a sublist. Here is an example of how you can use it:

javascript
function clientFieldChanged(type, name) {
    if (name == 'your_trigger_field') {
        nlapiDisableLineItemField('sublist_id', 'field_id', true);
    }
}

In SuiteScript 2.0, you can use the

isDisabled

property of the field object to disable a field. However, this property is read-only for sublist fields, so you cannot use it to disable a sublist field. Here is an example of how you can use it:

javascript
function fieldChanged(context) {
    if (context.fieldId == 'your_trigger_field') {
        var sublistField = context.currentRecord.getSublistField({
            sublistId: 'sublist_id',
            fieldId: 'field_id',
            line: context.line
        });
        sublistField.isDisabled = true;
    }
}

Please note that these methods may not work as expected if the field is sourced from another field. In this case, you may need to use the

postSourcing

or

lineInit

event to disable the field after it is sourced. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
