// Suitelet side
form.addButton({
id: 'custpage_run_command',
label: 'Run Command',
functionName: 'runCommand'
}); Copy code
// Client side
function runCommand() {
// Do stuff

Copy code
const runCommand = () => {
const rec = currentRecord.get();
const command = rec.getValue({ fieldId: 'custpage_command' });
console.log('Current Record Command Field Value:', command);
