Oracle reference for this method
ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
options.idstringrequiredThe internal ID for this field. The internal ID must be in lowercase and without spaces.
options.labelstringrequiredThe UI label for this field.
options.typestringrequiredThe field type. Use the serverWidget.FieldType enum to set this value. The DATETIME, FILE, HELP, INLINEHTML, LABEL, LONGTEXT, MULTISELECT, RADIO and RICHTEXT values are not supported with this method. Note: If you have set the type parameter to SELECT , and you want to add custom options to the select field, you must set source to NULL.
options.sourcestringoptionalThe internalId or scriptId of the source list for this field. Use this parameter if you are adding a select (List/Record) type of field. Note: If you want to add custom options on a select field, you must set the source parameter to NULL. Important: After you create a select or multi-select field that is sourced from a record or list, you cannot add additional values with Field.addSelectOption(options) . The select values are determined by the source record or list.
options.containerstringoptionalThe internal ID of the tab or field group to add the field to. Use this parameter to specify either a tab or a field group to place the field in. By default, the field is added to the main section of the form.

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?
