Scenario: create saved search in Production and use as a Custom Center Link. Bundle the Center Category containing that link and download into a sandbox. My URL is fixed with the Production URL and not updating to the SB ID.

Are you looking for ideas on how to make that not an issue? I don't think there is a way.

I'm wondering if i have stumbled into a defect

have you considered making your URL with the double "\" effect without everything proceeding the app.netsuite.com portion.

Havent tried that...

I think it was @michoel who pointed me at that, or maybe @battk for creating non account specific links that can be deployed in multiple places, but I don't remember exact method

hopefully someone chimes in...otherwise I'll have to download the bundle and then update the center links each round...better than recreating the reports each time though

are you selecting the saved search from the Center Category, or are you creating a center link and selecting the center link from the center category

I have a center category named XXX. within it are 5 saved searches a1-a5, all of the saved searches are used as center links since i cannot put them in the center category without doing so...

It seems like this would be something that'd have to be handled in a deployment script to get it to always populate the correct links

whats odd is bundling a pile of searches doesnt have this problem

are you creating a custom center link for you saved searches: https://system.netsuite.com/app/common/custom/custtasks.nl?whence=

Yes

public saved search can be selected as a value in the center category

hmmm. maybe thats the issue.

you can also probably do what i did with that last link, use a data center specific url

so I'm thinking now that I see Ieft my reports as Private it may be the culprit

That's a good idea too

which is exactly one of the issues I encountered
