Suitescript, set an item in the item sublist with the rate as a percent and have the amount autopopulate like it does in the UI

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In order to set an item in the item sublist with the rate as a percent and have the amount autopopulate like it does in the UI, you should use the

setSublistText

method instead of

setSublistValue

. The

setSublistValue

method treats the rate as an absolute amount, not a percentage. Here is an example of how you can do this:

javascript
rec.setSublistText({
    sublistId: 'item',
    fieldId: 'rate',
    text: '20%',
    line: lineCount
});

In this example, '20%' is the rate you want to set for the item. The

setSublistText

method allows you to set the rate as a percentage, and the amount will autopopulate accordingly, just like it does in the UI. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
