AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
Yes, you can get a value from a sourced transaction line field in a user event script. However, there are a few things to consider: 1. The field must be stored. If the field is not stored, it will not be available in the user event script context. 2. The timing of when you are trying to access the field is important. If you are trying to access the field in a 'before' event (like beforeLoad, beforeSubmit), the field may not have been populated yet. In this case, you would need to use an 'after' event (like afterSubmit). 3. If the field is being populated by another script, you need to ensure that your script runs after the other script. This can be controlled by the deployment order of the scripts. 4. If the field is a custom field, it may have a prefix like 'custpage_' or 'custbody_'. You need to use the correct field id when trying to access the field. Here is a sample code snippet on how you can get a field value in a user event script:
Copy code
javascript
function afterSubmit(scriptContext) {
    var newRecord = scriptContext.newRecord;
    var fieldValue = newRecord.getValue({
        fieldId: 'custbody_custom_field'
    });
    log.debug({
        title: 'Field Value',
        details: fieldValue
    });
}
Remember to replace 'custbody_custom_field' with the actual id of your field. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
