What is the commitLine Method?
The commitLine method in SuiteScript is used to finalize changes made to a line item in a sublist. It is essential for operations where real-time adjustments in dynamic mode affect how records are processed.
Supported Methods and Modes
- Method:
commitLine(dynamic mode only) - Script Types: Client and server scripts
- Module: N/record Module
Understanding the execution context is crucial; this method should only be called when you are working in dynamic mode.
Key Parameters
To effectively use the commitLine method, you must pass specific options:
| Parameter | Type | Required / Optional | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
options.sublistId | string | Required | The internal ID of the sublist, which can be found in the Records Browser. |

SSS_MISSING_REQD_ARGUMENT | A required argument is missing or undefined. |
Being aware of these errors will help streamline troubleshooting and enhance your script debugging efforts.
