why would the field id change from `custbody_myfield` to `inpt_custbody_myfield18` after a record is created and then edited again?

so i am working on a custom  javascript outside of the netsuite api (i know, i know) and in chrome devtools I see that the field id changed.

well NetSuite replaces form elements with its own things

and makes hidden elements with the original ids

for example, &lt;selects&gt; have their own fancy things

if you inspect element you’ll see what’s happening

Yup. I ended using getelementsbyname to do what I need since the name does not seem to change - just the id.
