I have a custom sublist on a case record that allows for inline editing. I want one of the fields on the sublist to be prepopulated from a field on the case record when the user is creating a new line. How can I do this with a client script?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To prepopulate a field on a custom sublist from a field on the case record when a new line is created, you can use a client script. Here's a general approach: 1. In your client script, you will need to use the

pageInit

function. This function is triggered every time the page is loaded or a new line is added to a sublist. 2. Inside the

pageInit

function, you can use the

currentRecord

object to get the value of the field from the case record that you want to use to prepopulate the sublist field. 3. Then, you can use the

setCurrentSublistValue

method to set the value of the sublist field. Here's a sample code snippet:

javascript
/**
 * @NApiVersion 2.x
 * @NScriptType ClientScript
 */
define(['N/currentRecord'], function(currentRecord) {
    function pageInit(scriptContext) {
        if (scriptContext.mode !== 'create') {
            return;
        }

        var caseRecord = currentRecord.get();
        var caseFieldValue = caseRecord.getValue({fieldId: 'your_case_field_id'});

        caseRecord.setCurrentSublistValue({
            sublistId: 'your_sublist_id',
            fieldId: 'your_sublist_field_id',
            value: caseFieldValue
        });
    }

    return {
        pageInit: pageInit
    };
});

Please replace

'your_case_field_id'

,

'your_sublist_id'

, and

'your_sublist_field_id'

with your actual field and sublist IDs. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
