How can I tell if a transaction has been created by the user copying

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In NetSuite, there isn't a built-in feature to identify if a transaction has been created by copying another transaction. However, there are a couple of ways you can handle this using SuiteScript or workflows. 1. SuiteScript: You can create a User Event script that triggers when a record is copied. In the script, you can identify the context in which the record is being created. If the context is 'COPY', you can then update a custom field on the record to indicate that it was created by copying. Here's a sample code snippet:

javascript
if (context.type === context.UserEventType.COPY) {
    record.setValue({
        fieldId: 'custbody_copied_from',
        value: context.newRecord.id
    });
}

In this example, 'custbody_copied_from' is a custom field that you would create to store the ID of the original record. 2. Workflow: You can create a workflow with an entry point set to 'On Copy'. In the workflow, you can set a custom field to indicate that the record was created by copying. Remember, these methods will only work for transactions created after the script or workflow is deployed. For historical transactions, you might be able to infer if a transaction was copied based on certain unique fields that should have unique values, but don't due to the copy operation. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
