11/04/2022, 5:47 PMWhat entry point should be be using in a Client script to check when a sublist column value is changed?
i.e. trigger when qty of a BOM member is changed?
Entry point descriptions and examples ive seen dont really help

11/04/2022, 6:08 PMI guess for the purpose to do a comparison between the previous value and the new value i would have to create two record objects before and after and compare them?
Scruffy
11/04/2022, 6:13 PMIs it possible to create a record object of when its not within the scope of the entry point?

11/04/2022, 6:13 PMIm guessing i use pageInit?

11/04/2022, 6:14 PMyou wouldnt want an actual record, you can usually get by with much less
battk
11/04/2022, 6:14 PMfor example an array of previous values on each sublist line

11/04/2022, 6:17 PMdefine(['N/currentRecord','N/log','N/ui/dialog'], function (record, log, dialog) {
//DO I GRAB THE PREVIOUS VALUES HERE? HOW DOES THAT LOOK SYNTAX WISE?
function validateLine(context){
var currentRecord = context.currentRecord;
//do stuff
return true;
}
function validateDelete(context){
var currentRecord = context.currentRecord;
//do stuff
return true;
}
return {
validateLine : validateLine,
validateDelete : validateDelete
}
});

battk
11/04/2022, 6:18 PMthere are many ways to do it
battk
11/04/2022, 6:19 PMyour suggestion of pageInit is reasonable if you only wanted to get the previous values once
battk
11/04/2022, 6:19 PMbecause the page is only init once
battk
11/04/2022, 6:20 PMthat usually means going through each line of the record and storing its value
