02/20/2023, 8:42 PMon a new sales order, if I select a custom shipping address, I get the pop-up window. If I fill it in, and save, then NetSuite automatically updates the taxcode on all the existing lines, based on the new shipping address. but if instead, I use client script to set the custom address, then NetSuite ignores it, and continues to use the old tax code, even when I save the record. How do I force NetSuite to "realize" the taxcode needs to be updated based on my new custom shipping address?

02/20/2023, 9:38 PMcan you use the 'ignoreFieldChange' == false property maybe?
Brian Brown
02/20/2023, 9:38 PMas I remember there is another similar client script property

02/20/2023, 10:13 PMnone of these are great ideas, which means you should probably be looking at doing something fundamentally different instead.
1. don't use custom option, instead create a new address subrecord and attach it to the customer and then select it?
2. you can try calling NS's recalc function manually in your client script, which I think is literally what you're asking for, but this seems pretty far from best practices

02/20/2023, 10:15 PMmy suspicion is that when the custom address pop-up is closed, it calls a function on the opener window. i just don't know what that function is

02/20/2023, 10:55 PMsorry I gotta ask, where are you getting the shipping address data from, such that it makes sense to be auto-entering it from a client script context?!

02/20/2023, 10:56 PMYou might also try recObj.commitLine call as well. On every line item

Brian Brown
02/20/2023, 10:56 PMOne option to consider

02/20/2023, 11:05 PMyou will probably have better luck using suitescript 1 for this purpose
battk
02/20/2023, 11:05 PMit explicitly allows you to commit the shipping address
battk
02/20/2023, 11:12 PMtechnically you can commit the subrecord in ss2, its just not explicitly supported
battk
02/20/2023, 11:13 PMalthough ss2 explicitly states it doesnt support editing subrecords in client scripts anyways, so you are already in the unsupported territory here
