What could prevent currentRecord.selectLine from changing the selection within a pageInit method? No error or exception is produced, but the sublist selected index does not change.

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

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

currentRecord.selectLine

method may not change the selection within a

pageInit

method due to the timing of when the

pageInit

method is executed. The

pageInit

method is executed when the page is initialized, but before the record is fully loaded. This means that the sublist lines may not be fully loaded and ready to be manipulated when the

pageInit

method is executed. In addition, the

currentRecord.selectLine

method only works in Dynamic mode. If your code is getting the record in Standard mode, the

selectLine

and

commitLine

methods may not work as expected. Another potential issue could be related to the use of a loop to select lines. If you're using a variable in the

selectLine

method, it may not update the selected line as expected. This could be due to the way JavaScript handles variable scope and closure, especially within loops. One possible solution could be to use the

setTimeout

function to delay the execution of your code until the record is fully loaded. However, this may not be the most reliable solution as the loading time can vary. Another solution could be to move your logic to a different script trigger, such as the

beforeSubmit

trigger, which is executed after the record is fully loaded and ready to be manipulated.
