Insert Sublist Line Using SuiteScript Parameters in NetSuite

The insertLine method is a useful feature in SuiteScript that allows developers to dynamically insert a line into a sublist. This capability is crucial when managing complex data entry forms where users need to manipulate attached records rapidly. Understanding how to use this function effectively can streamline workflows and improve user experience.

What is the InsertLine Method?

The insertLine method enables you to add a line to a specified sublist on the current record. This method is primarily used in client scripts, making it essential for scenarios where user interaction occurs directly in the NetSuite interface.

Returns

The method returns the currentRecord.CurrentRecord object, which allows further manipulations or retrieval of data after the insertion.

Supported Script Types

• Client scripts are supported, providing flexibility for creating interactive forms.

Governance

The insertLine method has no specific governance limits, allowing for efficient usage without restrictions in most scenarios.

Parameters

The options parameter is a JavaScript object that includes the following:

Error Codes

• SSS_INVALID_SUBLIST_OPERATION: Thrown when an invalid argument is provided or if the sublist is not editable.
• SSS_MISSING_REQD_ARGUMENT: Thrown if a required argument is missing or undefined.

Syntax Example

Here is a syntax sample for using the insertLine method:

1// Example of inserting a line in the 'item' sublist
2objRecord.insertLine({
3    sublistId: 'item',
4    line: 3,
5    ignoreRecalc: true
6});

This example demonstrates how to insert a line into the 'item' sublist at line index 3 while ignoring recalculation, ensuring the process is streamlined.
