Hi all, I'm building my first script to show a message on a SO when a line item is added where a field value = X and I can't seem to get it to work. I got some ideas from Oracle docs but this doesn't seem to work

General guidance much appreciated!

You can only use `nlapiGetCurrentLineItemValue` to retrieve field values on the current record. If you want to look up item fields, you will need a lookup (e.g. nlapiLookupField)

```var itemId = nlapiGetCurrentLineItemValue('item', 'item');
var lifeCycle = nlapiLookupField('item', itemId, 'custitem_product_lifecycle');
if(lifeCycle === 'EOL (End of Life)') { ... }```

Legend, will look into that this afternoon

Side note - strongly recommend you learn SuiteScript 2.x instead. SuiteScript 1 is pretty much deprecated

Thanks. I've only recently started learning Js with no prior scripting experience so everything is a challenge right now :confused:

may as well though learn 2.0, it’s not like you’re going to gain more or do it more easily by learning an antiquated version…
