I have a case record with a child record sublist that acts as line items. Users can add and edit child records from the sublist. I need to update a field on the child record after it is created from direct edit on the sublist. How can I accomplish this?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To accomplish this, you can use a User Event script that triggers on the 'create' event type. This script will allow you to access the child records via sublist operations from the parent record and update the necessary fields. Here's a basic example of how you might structure this script:

javascript
/**
 * @NApiVersion 2.x
 * @NScriptType UserEventScript
 */
define(['N/record'], function(record) {
    function beforeSubmit(context) {
        if (context.type !== context.UserEventType.CREATE) {
            return;
        }

        var parentRecord = context.newRecord;
        var childSublistCount = parentRecord.getLineCount({sublistId: 'your_sublist_id'});

        for (var i = 0; i < childSublistCount; i++) {
            var childRecordId = parentRecord.getSublistValue({
                sublistId: 'your_sublist_id',
                fieldId: 'id',
                line: i
            });

            var childRecord = record.load({
                type: 'your_child_record_type',
                id: childRecordId
            });

            childRecord.setValue({
                fieldId: 'your_field_id',
                value: 'your_value'
            });

            childRecord.save();
        }
    }

    return {
        beforeSubmit: beforeSubmit
    };
});

In this script, replace 'your_sublist_id', 'your_child_record_type', 'your_field_id', and 'your_value' with your actual sublist ID, child record type, field ID, and value, respectively. Please note that this script will only trigger when a new parent record is created. If you need to handle updates to existing records, you'll need to adjust the script to also trigger on the 'edit' event type. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
