when changing customer on estimate, how to prevent changing taxcode on line or changing it back to previous

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

This script will ensure that the tax code field on a sales order line is not editable, and it will default from the customer record. Here is a general idea of how you can achieve this: 1. Create a client script that targets the tax code field on the sales order line. 2. In the script, use the

validateField

function to prevent changes to the tax code field. This function is triggered whenever a field is changed and it can be used to prevent changes to specific fields. Here is a sample code snippet:

javascript
function validateField(type, name) {
    if (name == 'taxcode') {
        return false; // This will prevent changes to the tax code field
    }
    return true;
}

Please note that this is a simplified example and you may need to adjust it to fit your specific needs. Another approach is to set the column header for the tax code field to blank on the form. This will hide the tax code field but still store it with the form. This method was suggested in one of the conversations and it seemed to work well for the user. Remember to test any changes thoroughly to ensure they work as expected and do not cause any unintended side effects.
