need to set the billaddresslist beforeload in a user event on a transaction record

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To set the

billaddresslist

beforeLoad in a user event on a transaction record, you can use SuiteScript 2.0's

record

module. However, please note that the

billaddresslist

field is a select field that references an address from the address book of the entity linked to the transaction. It does not contain the actual address details, but rather a reference to an address record. Here is a sample code snippet that demonstrates how you can set the

billaddresslist

field in a beforeLoad user event script:

javascript
function beforeLoad(context) {
    if (context.type !== context.UserEventType.CREATE) {
        return;
    }

    var transactionRecord = context.newRecord;
    var addressBookCount = transactionRecord.getLineCount({sublistId: 'addressbook'});

    for (var i = 0; i < addressBookCount; i++) {
        var defaultBilling = transactionRecord.getSublistValue({
            sublistId: 'addressbook',
            fieldId: 'defaultbilling',
            line: i
        });

        if (defaultBilling) {
            transactionRecord.setValue({
                fieldId: 'billaddresslist',
                value: transactionRecord.getSublistValue({
                    sublistId: 'addressbook',
                    fieldId: 'internalid',
                    line: i
                })
            });
            break;
        }
    }
}

This script will set the

billaddresslist

field to the internal ID of the default billing address from the entity's address book. Please note that this script assumes that a default billing address is set in the entity's address book. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
