In-line editing a field but the system notes don't show a detailed old and new value of the field

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In NetSuite, when you change a field value with a script, the change is typically logged in the System Notes. However, the system notes may not always show a detailed old and new value of the field. This is especially true for fields that source from a list of values. If you update such a field on a record to a different value from that list, the change can be logged in System Notes. But if you edit the value in the list itself, that change wouldn't appear in the system notes of the record, since you're not technically changing the referenced Internal ID of the list value. Also, it's important to note that the

submitFields

method in SuiteScript triggers an Inline Edit (

XEDIT

). This behavior has been documented and has existed for quite some time. This means that if you use

submitFields

to set field values, it may not trigger other user events, but it will still be logged as an Inline Edit in the system notes. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
