why in client script field changed the value gets set but doesn't appear in the field

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, the issue of a value not appearing in a field after being set in a client script could be due to several reasons: 1. Hidden Fields: If a field is hidden on page load, it is not loaded into the DOM and hence, the client script cannot act on it. This is because NetSuite does not render hidden fields in the DOM. If you need to manipulate a field that is initially hidden, you might need to start with the field visible and then hide it as soon as possible using client script. 2. Field Doesn't Store Value: If the field doesn't store value, the value set in a client script will not persist. Client Scripts only run in Edit mode, and if the field doesn't store the value, the value will not be saved. A workaround for this is to create a separate field that stores values. 3. Script Errors: If there are any errors in your script, it could prevent the fieldChanged function from firing. Always check the console output on the browser for any errors that might stop your script from working. 4. Return Statement: Ensure that fieldChanged is part of your return statement in the client script. If it's not, the function will not be triggered. Remember to always test your scripts thoroughly to ensure they are working as expected. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
