is there access to oldrecord in an xedit user event?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In a User Event script, the

oldRecord

object is accessible in both

beforeSubmit

and

afterSubmit

events. However, in the context of an XEDIT event, the

newRecord

object only contains the fields that were changed. This is because XEDIT is triggered when inline editing is performed on a record, and only the modified fields are included in the

newRecord

. If you need to access fields that weren't changed during an XEDIT event, you have two main options: 1. Use the

oldRecord

object: This object will contain the values of the record before the changes were made. If a field wasn't changed during the XEDIT event, its value in the

oldRecord

will be the current value. 2. Load the record or use a lookup: If you need to access fields that weren't changed and aren't included in the

oldRecord

, you can load the record or use a lookup to get the current values of these fields. Here is an example of how you can use the

oldRecord

in a User Event script:

javascript
function afterSubmit(context) {
    var oldRecord = context.oldRecord;
    var field1Value = oldRecord.getValue('field1');
    // ...
}

Remember, the

oldRecord

object is not available in

beforeLoad

events. Also, be aware that loading a record or performing a lookup can have performance implications, especially if you're dealing with a large number of records or fields. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
