How can I check if a field has been updated on a user event script?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In a User Event Script, you can check if a field has been updated by comparing the

oldRecord

and

newRecord

. The

oldRecord

represents the state of the record before the current operation, and the

newRecord

represents the state of the record after the current operation. Here is a simple example of how you can do this:

javascript
function afterSubmit(context) {
    var oldRecord = context.oldRecord;
    var newRecord = context.newRecord;

    var oldFieldValue = oldRecord.getValue({fieldId: 'your_field_id'});
    var newFieldValue = newRecord.getValue({fieldId: 'your_field_id'});

    if(oldFieldValue !== newFieldValue) {
        // The field has been updated
    }
}

In this example, replace

'your_field_id'

with the ID of the field you want to check. The

afterSubmit

function is triggered after the record is submitted. If the old field value does not equal the new field value, then the field has been updated. Please note that User Event Scripts are not triggered by other User Event Scripts. If you want to trigger a User Event Script, you will need to update the record from a Scheduled Script, Map/Reduce Script, or Suitelet. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
