AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
To populate data into a custom subtab, you need to create a sublist on that subtab. Here are the steps: 1. Create your subtab on the parent record. 2. Add your custom record as a sublist on the subtab. Here is a sample code snippet that demonstrates how to create a subtab and sublist:
Copy code
javascript
var subtab = form.addTab({
    id: 'custpage_mysubtab',
    label: 'My Subtab'
});

var sublist = form.addSublist({
    id: 'custpage_mysublist',
    type: serverWidget.SublistType.LIST,
    label: 'My Sublist',
    tab: 'custpage_mysubtab'
});
After creating the subtab and sublist, you can add fields to the sublist and populate them with data. Here is how you can add a field to the sublist:
Copy code
javascript
sublist.addField({
    id: 'custpage_myfield',
    type: serverWidget.FieldType.TEXT,
    label: 'My Field'
});
And here is how you can populate the field with data:
Copy code
javascript
record.setSublistValue({
    sublistId: 'custpage_mysublist',
    fieldId: 'custpage_myfield',
    line: 0,
    value: 'My Value'
});
Remember to load the record in edit mode before setting sublist values and save the record after setting all values.
