Hi all! I'm trying to use ?eval to use the JSON in a long text field but its causing errors. As an example, my field has: `{ "item": "444124", "amount": "4177.516", "quantity": "1"}`but when I try to evaluate or get just the item from ${field.item}, it fails. Am I missing something or doing something wrong?

maybe you are looking for ?eval_json

@redfishdev tried that too and got the same/similar error

did you eval like it says like

<#assign data = dataJson?eval_json>
<p>Name: ${data.name}

yep, exactly that like some other examples and still got the error

is this in script ?

no, this is in the advanced pdf. The script sets the json string in a custom field

there is a script that sets a fields value and sends to advanced pdf?

just the standard advanced pdf print on an invoice but issues with trying to manipulate my custom field data into a json to set in a table in the pdf

so you set the field value in UI and then call standard PDF via netsuite UI and not via script?

yes

well likely the Netsuite DataStore is going to escape the JSON " characters... but if you write out without ?eval what do you get? The escaped original?

yes, just the string. and when I try to add ?eval it fails to create the PDF; from the print option it just says unknown error but when saving the PDF it says it doesn't recognize this built in function or was expecting a different character

why does it say "eval-ed" what is the source line?

not sure why but it's just the custom field assigned as a variable

can you share the actual source for the line cuasing error?
