is it possible to attach a client script to a record using the beforeLoad() entry point in a user event script?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Yes, it is possible to attach a client script to a record using the beforeLoad() entry point in a user event script. However, it's important to note that the beforeLoad() function in a User Event script runs on the server side, while the client script runs on the client side (in the browser). You can use the

context.form.clientScriptModulePath

to set the path to the client script from the beforeLoad function. However, the pageInit function in the client script may not fire immediately. Also, it's worth noting that setting field values in beforeLoad is only allowed when the record is being created. If you attempt to set a value when editing a record in beforeLoad, the logic is ignored. If you need to manipulate data for records that are loaded in beforeLoad scripts, you can link a beforeLoad User Event to a client script or a Suitelet and update the data there. Here's a sample code snippet that shows how to avoid an infinite redirect when using `redirect.toRecord`:

javascript
const redirectParams = {
    isReloaded: 'T'
};

const params = scriptContext.request.parameters;

if (params.isReloaded !== 'T') {
    redirect.toRecord({
        type: newRec.type,
        id: newRec.id,
        parameters: redirectParams
    });
}

In this code, a parameter is added to

redirect.toRecord

and read in your script. If that parameter is set, the

redirect.toRecord

is skipped, preventing an infinite redirect. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
