Hi all, How can I get all the body field ids related to a record type, without loading any specific record of that type? Not looking to get field values, just the ids.

You want to get a list of all attribute values without loading the record?

No, actually I want the list of all body field ids from a record type, not field values (updating the OP to avoid confusion)

Record.getFields()

yup, will have to load the record for it first

If this was Java, we could use the reflection API, I don't believe there is something similar in SuiteScript, this isn't a standard use case.

You don't need to load a record, you can create one and then get the fields without saving it

Interesting That should work, thanks

Outside the box thinking 🙂

I have the field ids. How do I also get labels for those fields? 🙂 I need to show the fields in a list and I don’t think showing IDs to users is the best way.

Loop through your fields and call

myrecord.getField(fieldId)

. That will give you the field and the label and type

That would make my API very slow. I pulled 145 fields which means I will have to make 145 calls to

.getField

try it, it's not as bad as you think. you could cache the results, they're not likely to change very often I would think

When you have a record-object, I think that most information is included in the record-object. getField() is just a function to retrieve it from the object. If you do it in the client, there are no calls to the backend to work with the record.

console.time()
console.log(rec.getFields().map(fieldId => rec.getField(fieldId)?.label).filter(x => x))
console.timeEnd()

Above takes 3ms for me in the console. Creating the record could take some long time though.

That makes sense, thanks for the clarification

The page says

Customize Sublist

but the columns are not from any sublist. They are body fields from

Vendor Bills

record type.

What are you exactly trying to do?

I’m trying to replicate the

Customize

feature from the native NetSuite in a plugin.
