This has vexed me for quite some time. How do you handle the results of a search.lookupFields for a 'select' field where there is no result? So to get the value when there is one present, I would do something like this:

let woLookup = search.lookupFields({

type: search.Type.WORK_ORDER,

id: wo_internalId,

columns: [

'bom.internalid',

'item',

'entity',

'custbody_ship_by_date_wo',

'createdfrom',

]

});

let salesOrd = woLookup.createdfrom[0].value;

When there is no 'createdfrom', I get an undefined error. Specifically: "Cannot read property 'value' of undefined". Can't seem to get around that no matter what I try. Any thoughts?

You just need to test the value before pulling. I am returning null but you can determine the default value you want. This should work.

let salesOrd = woLookup.createdfrom.length > 0 ? woLookup.createdfrom[0].value : null;

Oh ok cool. I'll give that a try. Thanks!

woLookup.hasOwnProperty("createdfrom")...

or maybe:

woLookup.createdfrom[0].value||null;

Assuming you're using SS2.1 and ES6 you could also use optional chaining:

let salesOrd = woLookup.createdfrom[0]?.value;

In case the createdfrom field is empty

salesOrd

will be undefined

^ optional chaining would be my preferred
