why isn't my client script, set via form.clientScriptModulePath, firing a pageInit?

what does the rest of the suitelet look like?

You are saying that for the pageinit to trigger, it should be deployed to that record?

but it also not triggering a function that is in the client script.

```var fld = form.getField({id: 'custrecord_update_bill'});

fld.defaultValue = `&lt;a href="javascript:updateBill();"&gt;Update Bill&lt;/a&gt;`;```


that code expects updateBill to be set globally

you would need to set updateBill on the window global

which you can actually do via either an actual client script, or via the code added via clientScriptModulePath

```window.global.updateBill = function() {
    
}```
like this?

the window represents the global scope in a browser window

```&lt;a href="javascript:updateBill();"&gt;Update Bill&lt;/a&gt;```
runs in the global scope, so updateBill needs to be a function in that same scope

that would set the global updateBill to the output of updateBill()

unless your function returns a function, that will get you an error since
```&lt;a href="javascript:updateBill();"&gt;Update Bill&lt;/a&gt;```
expects a function to be in the updateBill global variable
