I’m looking for a way to prevent a SS1

ValidateDelete()

from executing when a sublist item is removed using a SS2

record.removeLine()

call. Background: We have a legacy SS1 script that’s quite complex and we don’t currently have the resources to rework it and rewrite it into SS2. One part of it is a

ValidateDelete()

function that is called when custom records are deleting from a sublist of custom records on a transaction (transaction is the parent record). The

ValidateDelete()

function is pretty simple: it updates a related text field to store a summary of some information in the sublist. Usually we want that to run every time a row in the sublist is deleted (we also have a

ValidateLine()

that performs similar logic). We are creating a “clear all <record> lines” function that will do as it says on the tin, it does a

record.removeLine()

one by one (starting at the end of the list and working backwards) to remove the lines in the sublist. The calls to

removeLine()

have

ignoreRecalc

set to

true

. Despite this, the

ValidateDelete()

is still being called. How can I prevent this?

You don't. Add a gaurd clause to the ValidateDelete to return true early

Thanks for confirming @battk, this is the approach I implemented, was hoping there was something more native NetSuite I was missing. Alas, no.
