No syntax of its own.
The compiler already calls Record.selectLine(options) inside line.field = value, so programs use it without naming it. Writing it directly has no syntax yet. Only on a record loaded or created dynamic, whose lines are written through the current line; standard records use setSublistValue and insertLine. In the compiler, not yet published.

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,saveandRef[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?
