can externalid be set in beforeSubmit ?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations provided, it appears that the

externalid

cannot be set in the

beforeSubmit

event of a User Event Script in SuiteScript. This is confirmed by multiple users in the threads. One user mentioned that the

externalid

can be set during the creation of a record if you're using

record.create()

in SuiteScript, but if you're creating a record through the UI and trying to set the

externalid

on the

beforeSubmit()

of that record, it will not work. Another user provided a code snippet showing how to set the

externalid

using the

record.load()

and

record.save()

methods, but this is not in the context of a

beforeSubmit

event:

javascript
require(['N/record'], function (record) {
  const instance = record.load({ type: 'assemblyitem', id: 201369 })
  instance.setValue({ fieldId: 'externalid', value: 'works' });
  instance.save()
})
