anyone ever seen work on modifying a saved search outside of netsuite, re-encoding it and deploying the modified version? i worked out how to decode it, but to deploy it i think i need to generate a valid hash and I don't know how. chatgpt wasn't able to determine what hash to use and how to hash it correctly.

You can do this via SDF if you have some dev knowledge. Depends what the context is really? What’s the reason for modifying it outside of NS?

look at celigo cloud extend

I also found out how to decode it, but not how to re-encode it. Even decoded, it's an extremely deep XML doc that gives most free-tier AIs too much to deal with and they can't handle it (although that was months ago. Maybe they can handle it now) if you were to ask them to find anything in there. I remember the code available from salt.io and I believe it was under a license that made it okay to borrow from or use for other things (don't cite me on that though!), but in the past few years it has been removed from the public internet and I can't find it anywhere.
