If a client script is populating a scripted field created by a user event script, do they need to be linked in some facet for the functionality to work?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ****** No, a client script and a user event script do not need to be explicitly linked for a client script to populate a field that was created by a user event script. In NetSuite, client scripts and user event scripts operate independently of each other. A client script operates on the client-side, meaning it runs in the user's browser when they interact with a record. A user event script, on the other hand, operates on the server-side, meaning it runs on NetSuite's servers when a record is being loaded or saved. If a client script is populating a field that was created by a user event script, the client script simply needs to know the internal ID of the field. The client script can then use the

nlapiSetFieldValue

function to set the value of the field. For example, if a user event script creates a field with the internal ID 'custbody_my_custom_field', a client script could populate this field with the following code:

javascript
nlapiSetFieldValue('custbody_my_custom_field', 'my value');

This code would set the value of the 'custbody_my_custom_field' field to 'my value'. The client script does not need to know anything about the user event script that created the field, it only needs to know the internal ID of the field. However, it's important to note that client scripts are dependent on the user's browser and internet connection, and can be disabled by the user. Therefore, if the functionality is critical, it may be prudent to back it up with a server-side script, such as a user event script or a scheduled script.

you can't ser value un that field, you can only show data in that field
