I am a newbie at NetSuite scripting. It looks like a normal EDIT or UPDATE function is not at all normal in the Netsuite. There are APIs for creating and deleting record like nlapiCreateRecord and nlapiDeleteRecord, but nowhere in the documentation I could find the way to edit and update the existing record. I have restrictions on using PHP.
I have created a custom TFC customer form (server side js), which should be able to fetch the data and update if required. I have been able to fetch the records as of now, but please tell me how to update an existing record?
To be a little more precise, use nlapiLoadRecord to fetch the record from the database. Set the fields as needed. Use nlapiSubmitRecord to save it.
Untested code off the top of my head:
var record = nlapiLoadRecord('record_type_goes_here', internal_id_of_record_goes_here);
record.setFieldValue('field_internal_id_goes_here', 'value to set goes here);
nlapiSubmitRecord(record);
Fill in the appropriate values where needed.
For the benefit of anyone looking at this question who is concerned with performance, it is much more efficient to use
nlapiSubmitField(type, id, fields, values, doSourcing)
If you know exactly what you are updating. This is both faster than submitRecord, and avoids the often significant overhead of loading the record first.
The function used to edit an existing record is nlapiSubmitRecord. See definition here http://suitecoder.appspot.com/static/api.html

I have an interactive PDF form created in Acrobat that employs a multidimensional object to collect, store, and populate form fields used to view the data. The form serves as a password manager to view individual password records whereby I have recently completed the lookup record page view that works like a charm. The only issue I've run into thus far is my inability to delete a record selected in the lookup view in which event I initially thought I'd be able to use the JS array.splice() method to simply delete a line item in the object array that stores the data for the particular record I want to delete. Come to learn that the script used to create the object that stores the data still remains inside the form whereby literally nothing has changed. Upon further study, I am inclined to believe that the form is essentially serving as a window to view the information stored in the object and for whatever reason invoking a script using the JS slice() method has no effect whatsoever on the script that created the object to begin with. Hence, in order to make this work, it appears I need to be able to rewrite/replace the script minus the object property/s that hold the data for the record to be deleted. Sorry for the novel. Any comments or suggestions regarding this subject matter are most appreciated. Thank you ahead of time.
Created a script using the JS splice() method in a futile attempt to remove data from an object used to collect and store data inside an interactive PDF form.
From Adobe's Docs:
You can use the Document JavaScript dialog box to add, edit, or delete scripts in your current document.
To open the dialog box, choose Tools > JavaScript > Document JavaScript.

I've never used Adobe Acrobat, but if you need to edit a script in a PDF, that's probably where to get at it.
If you post the script's code, someone might be able to help you. It's almost impossible to get an answer to any question without posting code.
I apologize regarding my initial post as I knew little to nothing at the time regarding how to create and use an object literal in which event I have since learned how to use an object literal along with its methods to add, delete, and edit key-value pairs of an object literal. I was then able to resolve all my issues in using an Acrobat PDF form as a front end along with a hidden text field using JSON to convert a JS data object for organizing and storing my form data as a string. The script to accomplish this task is as follows:
dsFld =getField("dataSrc");// call getField method used to obtain the
stored JS object as a JSON string
oVendors = JSON.parse(dsFld.value);//Parse the JSON string to manipulate
the JS data object
btnDel=getField("btn.del");
var oFld;// create var oFld for later use
var oPassData = oVendors[event.value];
if(oPassData){// script to populate PDF form fields
//walk members to fill fields
for(var nNm in oPassData){
// skip fields that don't exist on form
oFld = this.getField("inf." + nNm);
if(oFld)
oFld.value = oPassData[nNm];// script to populate associated form
fields
}
In looking back, I am sorry for any inconvenience posed by my initial post.
My project requires a similar approach of this example: https://codecentral.devexpress.com/E2026/
Is it possible to do it without the popup and reflect the changed values on the database? And just noticed that it wasn't done using batch mode. Is this possible also on the batch mode and sqldatasource? Hope someone here can help me with this. Or any sample, idea and suggestion will do. Thank you so much.
It seems to be an older approach. Consider using the Batch Edit Mode (i.e., without a popup) instead and save data to the required storage.
Check out the following examples to see possible solutions:
(In-Memory) Batch Edit via List of Objects
(DB) Batch Edit via EntityDataSource (change it to SqlDataSource with specified CRUD commands)
Good evening. I've been asked to update a web app that was implemented in RichFaces. The application has a rich:extendedDataTable inside of a composite component that displays some searchable data. The update I've been asked to implement is to have the first row in the table automatically selected when a search is submitted. I couldn't find a way to do this from the backing bean, but I did see that it can be done with the JavaScript API, by calling the selectRow and setActiveRow functions, but the problem is that I need the 'clientId' of the table, and if I inspect the DOM and get the client id of the table, let's say "junk:tableId", and I hard code that into the function,
#{rich:component('junk:tableId')}.selectRow(0);
#{rich:component('junk:tableId')}.setActiveRow(0});
Things work like I need them to. To retrieve the clientId, I found the rich:clientId function, and I confirmed that rich:clientId('tableId') returns the same clientId that I got from the DOM, so I updated my original function calls
#{rich:component('rich:clientId('tableId')')}.selectRow(0);
#{rich:component('rich:clientId('tableId')')}.setActiveRow(0});
And it doesn't work, and now I'm not sure what to try. Does anyone know what I can try?
You can just go with #{rich:component('tableId')}, the function calls clientId internally anyway.
#{rich:component('rich:clientId('tableId')')}
This should be getting you a parse error. Single quotes mark a string, not a method argument.
I'm quite new to SharePoint (about 1 week into it actually) and I'm attempting to mirror certain functionality that my company has with other products. Currently I'm working on how to duplicate the tasking environment in Box.com. Essentially it's just an email link that goes to a webpage where users can view an image and comments related to that image side by side.
I can dynamically load the image based on url parameters using just Javascript so that part is not a problem. As far as the comments part goes I've been trying to use a Noteboard WebPart, and then my desire is to have the "Url for Note" property to change dependent on the same URL parameter. I've looked over the Javascript Object Model and Class Library on MSDN but the hierarchy seems to stop at WebPart so I'm not finding anything that will allow me to update the Url for Note property.
I've read comments saying that there's a lot of exploration involved with this so I've tried the following:
-loading the javascript files into VisualStudio to use intellisense for looking up functions and properties in the SP.js files.
-console.log() on: WebPartDefinitionCollection, WebPartDefinition, WebPart, and methods .get_objectData(), get_properties() on all the previous
-embedding script in the "Builder" on the Url for Note property (where it says "click to use Builder" - I'm still not sure what more this offers than just a bigger textbox to put in the URL path)
I'm certain I've missed something obvious here but am gaining information very slowly now that I've exhausted the usual suspects. I very much appreciate any more resources or information anyone has and am willing to accept that I may be approaching this incorrectly if someone has accomplished this before.
Normally I'd keep going through whatever info I could find but I'm currently on a trial period and start school back up again soon so I won't have as much time with it. Apologies if this seems impatient, I'm just not sure where else to look at the moment.
Did you check out the API libraries like SPServices or SharepointPlus? They could help you doing what you want...
For example with SharepointPlus you could:
Create a Sharepoint List with a "Note" column and whatever you need to record
When the user goes to the page with the image you just show a TEXTAREA input with a SAVE button
When the user hits the SAVE button it will save the Note to the related list using $SP().list("Your list").add()
And you can easily retrieve the information (to show them to the user if he goes back to the page) with $SP().list("Your list").get()
If I understood your problem, that way it may be easier for you to deal with a customized page :-)
I am trying to create a button on the initial list or homegrid view of leads that will set the value of a specific field to the same value every time for the lead that is selected. Anyone know how i can do this through javascript?
Thanks!
To build on James's answer, you can use the CrmParameter SelectedControlSelectedItemIds to get a list of all the leads selected in a homepage grid. There is an answer on the MSDN forums that explains how to do this, copied below. You can do this in the Xml source or in the two CRM ribbon editors I know of.
After that, you would then need to use the Update method of one of the CRM webservices to loop through the Guid array and update each entity/database row accordingly. I've mentioned Avanade's excellent web resource before, and MSDN has some additional documention on this as well.
Walkthrough: Use the SOAP Endpoint for Web Resources with JScript
Sample: Create, Retrieve, Update and Delete Using the REST Endpoint with JavaScript
<CommandDefinition Id="Account.Form.CustomGroup.Button.A.Command">
<Actions>
<JavaScriptFunction Library="$webresource:AccountFormLibrar"
FunctionName="CreateNewAccount">
<CrmParameter Value="SelectedControlSelectedItemIds"/>
</JavaScriptFunction>
</Actions>
</CommandDefinition>
function CreateNewAccount (prmRecordGUID) {
//prmRecordGUID will recieve all GUIDS in comma seperated i.e. GUID1,GUID2,GUID3
}
Yeah this should be pretty straightforward - I dont think what you have said in your comment will work - that function you are trying to use only works if the form of the record is open, e.g. it wont work from a grid view.
You will have to use a webservice call as described in the MSDN here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh771584#BKMK_DataAccessUsingJavaScript
Also if you are customising the ribbon (adding buttons) you would find it a lot easier with this tool: http://www.develop1.net/public/page/Ribbon-Workbench-for-Dynamics-CRM-2011.aspx
