10/28/2021, 12:51 PM@Sciuridae54696d what kind of customization?

10/28/2021, 12:55 PMon the simplest level, a user-event script would do the trick, but it depends on why you're trying to do this, for deduplication on create, that'd be a different level of complexity, and say if it was transaction level, the externalids are shared between all transactions so that's another level of complexity
Sciuridae54696d
10/28/2021, 12:58 PMif what you are merely trying to do is reflecting it's relationship to an external service, and reason in doing so is your external service has some way of updating netsuite without wanting to store the netsuite internal ids on that platform
say you were trying to do this, the user event script running on after submit context would work for you, instead of i suppose using csv to update these external ids... does that make sense?
s
screnshaw
10/28/2021, 1:00 PMYeah, I have an after submit script that will already do this, but I was hoping there was a UI way of handling this
screnshaw
10/28/2021, 1:00 PMthanks!

10/28/2021, 1:01 PMthere is, but only if you're administrator and you understand suitescript

10/28/2021, 1:02 PMI am a developer who also has administrator privlegdges :P

Sciuridae54696d
10/28/2021, 1:02 PMthen you can use suitescript 1.0 on the console, to edit the externalid
Sciuridae54696d
10/28/2021, 1:02 PMin the developer console in the browser
s
screnshaw
10/28/2021, 1:02 PMah. Yeah, I need this to be a going forward type thing

Sciuridae54696d
10/28/2021, 1:03 PMhow would you be going forward with a ui automation?
Sciuridae54696d
10/28/2021, 1:03 PMyou're using uipath?
s
screnshaw
10/28/2021, 1:03 PMsorry, I mispoke. I meant a setting I could set in the UI.
s
Sciuridae54696d
10/28/2021, 1:03 PMso something you can set in the ui, that isn't console?
s
screnshaw
10/28/2021, 1:03 PMso like company --> settings --> set external id automatically
s
Sciuridae54696d
10/28/2021, 1:04 PM^ that you can do in the user event script already
Sciuridae54696d
10/28/2021, 1:05 PMthese scripted fields you can create for all scripts, has an option for company, that will put that field in the company settings
Sciuridae54696d
10/28/2021, 1:05 PMbut it'll still be a UE script, run aftersubmit
s
screnshaw
10/28/2021, 1:06 PMYeah. I'll just use the script. Was hoping there was a netsuite setting that would do it by default
screnshaw
10/28/2021, 1:06 PMthanks!
