11/19/2020, 4:00 PMDoes the Extensibility API allow us to set Line Item Options dynamically in the checkout process? How could I use it on and extension of the OrderWizard.Shipmethod.Module. How can I instansiate the Cart component in that context?

11/19/2020, 4:03 PMYou can use Cart.updateLine to change an item's options. And yes, you can use Cart in the checkout application. But you should avoid extending any of our core modules. Consider adding a new module using the Checkout component.

11/19/2020, 4:06 PMAlthough now I think about it, if you're changing an item's options then you're talking about matrix options. You may need to write code that removes the item from the cart and then adds a new line with the new configuration of matrix options. This is because child items have unique SKUs. But you can try it the 'simpler' way first and see if it works

11/19/2020, 4:08 PMNo this are not Matrix items this are Custom Transaction line fields I need to set values for them in the frontend and they need to migrate to the sales Order created in the backend after palcing the order.

11/19/2020, 4:14 PMBut just to be clear, are you trying to convert Transaction Item/Line Fields to Transaction Body Fields?

11/19/2020, 4:22 PMNo, I am trying to set the Custom Transaction line fields for each line

11/19/2020, 4:25 PMAlright, well we have docs on this: http://system.netsuite.com/app/help/helpcenter.nl?fid=chapter_4837340253.html. And, as I said, we have an extension that does it too

11/19/2020, 4:25 PMYou shouldn't need to touch the LiveOrder model to do this

11/19/2020, 6:06 PMThe thing is I don't need to show those custom fields to the user which is what the docs talk about, I just need to set the value for those custom transaction line fields, which appear as item options.
The Extension I cannot fetch to a local environment to work with sadly.
