in a field of type N/ui.serverWidget.FieldType.SELECT created with N/ui/serverWidget.Form.addField() where the "source" is a customlist, how do I remove the blank and "New" options?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
In NetSuite, when you create a field of type
N/ui.serverWidget.FieldType.SELECT
using
N/ui/serverWidget.Form.addField()
and the "source" is a custom list, you cannot directly remove the blank and "New" options. This is because the options in a sourced select field are automatically populated by NetSuite and cannot be removed or manipulated directly. However, there is a workaround to this. Instead of sourcing the field from a custom list, you can create an empty select field and manually add the options using
field.addSelectOption
. This way, you have full control over the options in the select field and can choose not to include a blank or "New" option. Here is an example of how you can do this:
Copy code
javascript
var myField = form.addField({
    id: 'custpage_myfield',
    type: serverWidget.FieldType.SELECT,
    label: 'My Field'
});

// Assume myOptions is an array of options you want to add
myOptions.forEach(function(option) {
    myField.addSelectOption({
        value: option.value,
        text: option.text
    });
});
In this example,
myOptions
is an array of objects, where each object represents an option in the select field. Each object has a
value
property (the internal ID of the option) and a
text
property (the display text of the option). ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
