what is the difference between validateline and validateinsert in client script suitescript
c
AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
In NetSuite's SuiteScript,
validateLine
and
validateInsert
are two different methods used in client scripts for different purposes. * `validateLine`: This method is triggered when a user adds or updates a line in a sublist. It is used to validate the line before it is added or updated. If this method returns
false
, the line is not added or updated. * `validateInsert`: This method is triggered when a user inserts a new line in a sublist. It is used to validate the line before it is inserted. If this method returns
false
, the line is not inserted. The main difference between these two methods is that
validateLine
is triggered for both adding and updating lines, while
validateInsert
is only triggered when a new line is inserted. However, it's important to note that
validateInsert
only fires if you click the "+ Insert" button, not when you click "Add". If you want to differentiate between a new line and a line that is just being updated, you might need to use a combination of these methods and possibly store some information about the lines during the
pageInit
event to compare against during the `validateInsert`/`validateLine` events. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
