04/28/2022, 8:51 PMI have a script that is supposed to filter out a select field I created using
serverWidget.FieldType.SelectThe following operation or use case is not yet supported in SuiteScript: update popup select options Copy code
var addLabellCtc = record.getField('custpage_contact_address_label');
addLabellCtc.removeSelectOption({value : null});
if(addressSearchResults.length != 0) {
for(var i in addressSearchResults) {
addLabellCtc.insertSelectOption({
value : addressSearchResults[i].id,
text : addressSearchResults[i].getValue({
name: "addresslabel",
join: "Address"
})
});
}

04/28/2022, 8:54 PMwhether it renders as a popup is determined by whether or not the number of options exceeds the value you have for
MAXIMUM ENTRIES IN DROPDOWNSp

04/28/2022, 8:55 PMthe search I am running is only bringing back 1-5 results (at most). Or is it based on how many total address labels there are - which is a large amount?

04/28/2022, 8:59 PMfrom what i can see on the remove.
" at Field.removeSelectOption (https://xxxxxxx-sb1.app.netsuite.com/javascript/suitescript/2.0/client/N.js?NS_VER=2022.1&minver=13&buildver=30109:32666:24)"

04/28/2022, 9:03 PMHow was the select field added exactly? Note that the removeSelectOption() fn states: This method is usable only in select fields that were added by a front-end Suitelet or beforeLoad user event script. The IDs for these fields always have a prefix of custpage.

form.addField({
id: 'custpage_contact_address_label',
type: serverWidget.FieldType.SELECT,
label: 'Select Address',
source: '-137'
});pen one
04/28/2022, 9:06 PMi am getting all of the address labels in the drop down but goal is to filter it by a contact the user selects in a custbody field.

04/28/2022, 9:55 PMThanks. Assume you mean this:
After you create a select or multi-select field that is sourced from a record or list, you cannot add additional values with Field.addSelectOption(options). The select values are determined by the source record or list.

04/28/2022, 9:56 PMBut my goal is to filter - not add. I thought I could filter using the removeSelectOption and insertSelectOption but I guess I cannot,

04/28/2022, 10:07 PMthe usual for addressbook is to have a native addressbook field that has a filter on a custom entity field that you created and can control

04/28/2022, 10:41 PMmy goal was to filter by the contact name and show only addresses associated with a contact but when I try doing this in the UI I get an error stating that the contact field does not match the filter Entity - hence why I am trying it this way.
