ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
options.typestringrequiredThe record type. This value determines the Record.type property of the record that is created. This property is read-only on an existing record. Use the following guidelines: When creating an instance of a standard NetSuite record type, set this value by using the record.Type enum. When creating an instance of a custom record type, set this value by using the custom record type's string ID. For help finding this ID, see Custom Record .
options.isDynamicbooleanoptionalDetermines whether the new record is created in dynamic mode. If set to true , the new record is created in dynamic mode. If set to false , the new record is created in standard mode. By default, this value is false . Note: For additional information about standard and dynamic mode, see record.Record and SuiteScript 2.x Standard and Dynamic Modes .

The record exists in NetSuite only after save; a new record that some path never saves is a warning (MYNT2001). dynamic after it holds the record in dynamic mode, isDynamic: true (in the compiler, not yet published). Published on npm since 0.0.1. Verified with mynt build on 13 Oct 2026.

Write the Mynt you wish you could write.

A good proposal shows the syntax, the SuiteScript it should become, and argues for it: why it is clearer, how it fits the rest of the language, what it makes harder.

  • Clarity. Does it say what happens, without ceremony?
  • Consistency. Does it read like load, save and Ref[field]?
  • Expressiveness. Does it cover the cases people actually write?
  • Honesty. Does it hide a NetSuite cost, such as governance, that a reader should see?
