Is the record considered deleted in the before Submit function?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In NetSuite's SuiteScript, the

beforeSubmit

function is triggered before any changes are committed to the database. This includes the deletion of a record. Therefore, the record is not considered deleted in the

beforeSubmit

function. In the

beforeSubmit

function, you have access to both the

newRecord

and

oldRecord

objects. The

newRecord

object represents the state of the record after the current operation is completed, while the

oldRecord

object represents the state of the record before the current operation started. In the case of a delete operation, the

newRecord

object will be null because the record will no longer exist after the operation, but the

oldRecord

object will still hold the state of the record before it was deleted. Therefore, if you need to access the data of a record that is about to be deleted, you should do so in the

beforeSubmit

function using the

oldRecord

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