How to get a script parameter-based User preference in a context or script-type that is not user-triggered, such as a scheduled workflow?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In SuiteScript 2.0, you can get a script parameter-based User preference in a context or script-type that is not user-triggered, such as a scheduled workflow, by loading the script deployment record and then getting the value of your parameter. Here is a sample code snippet:

javascript
var scriptObj = runtime.getCurrentScript();
var parameterValue = scriptObj.getParameter({name: 'custscript_my_script_parameter'});

In this example,

custscript_my_script_parameter

is the ID of the script parameter you want to retrieve. If you need to get a parameter from a different script, you can load the script deployment record and then get the value of your parameter. If you want to add a new field to the Company General preferences, you can do it on most script types (i.e. User Event, Map/Reduce, Client, etc). When you create a script record you can add Parameters - if set to “Company” preference, they will be displayed on Company General Preferences. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******

No, that would only get the stored value on the script deployment record, not the value of that script parameter as it is stored in a given user's preference
