How to source a custom field from saved search

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To source a custom field from a saved search in NetSuite, you can follow these steps: 1. Create a summary saved search that returns the desired value. This could be a total, average, or any other summary calculation. 2. Create a custom field on the record where you want to display this value. In the Sourcing & Filtering tab of the custom field definition, select the saved search you created in step 1 as the Source List. 3. If you want to store the value from the saved search in the custom field for use in other saved searches, workflows, etc., you will need to use either a script or a workflow to copy the sourced value into the stored field. This is because sourced values are not stored by default in NetSuite. Please note that the behavior of the custom field will depend on the number of options added to the field and the personal preference setting “Maximum Entries in Dropdowns”. If the results exceed the maximum, the search behavior won't be available for drop-down lists created using addSelectOption. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
