what is the best way to set an inbound shipment record to 'in transit'? the suitescript records browser says the 'shipmentstatus' field is read only?

can certainly be done, i’ve done a script to do it based on the date before…

now to remember how…. :joy:  let me look back to source code

much appreciated :pray: please let me know how you did it

well it was commented out and i don’t know why but i’m pretty sure it did work… might be worth a shot anyway.
```//    		//check to see if actual last release date is set and convert to in transit
//    		if(REC.getValue('custrecordactlastrelease') &amp;&amp; REC.getValue('shipmentstatus')=='toBeShipped') {
//    			REC.setValue('shipmentstatus','inTransit');
//    		}```

was several years ago working with this client and there were constant changes so my mind is a bit foggy

that actually worked lol . so much for NS documenting that it is read only
