All SuiteCommerce Configuration Field Types

Using the correct field types in your SuiteCommerce configuration matters! NetSuite documentation is a little bit lacking in this area, so this article should help supplement it. Below are the required properties to define a specific field type.

Note: You can search “JSON Configuration Files Schema” in SuiteAnswers for the official documentation.

Notes on Working with Configuration Field Types

Before referencing the field types below, it's important to note a few things about working with SuiteCommerce Configuration field types:

• Remember, the properties shown below define the type of field. Other properties are required for your configuration to function (i.e., “group”, “title”, etc).
• Remember, the “default” property must match your field type.

Configuration Field Type List and Code Samples

Text - a normal text box

"TEXTBOX": {
      "type": "string",
      ...
  }

Text area - a text area box

"TEXTAREA": {
      "type": "string",
      "nsType": "textarea",
      ...
  }

Integer - a text bow that validates the input as an integer

"INTEGER": {
      "type": "integer",
      ...
  }

Number - a text bow that validates the input as a number

"NUMBER": {
      "type": "number",
      ...
  }

Checkbox - a checkbox

"CHECKBOX": {
      "type": "boolean",
      ...
  }

Dropdown - a dropdown, single or multi-select

"DROPDOWN": {
      "type": "",
      "enum": ["a", "b" ... ]
      "multiselect": ""
      ...
  }

List/Record - a list/record select field (multi-select not available)

"LIST/RECORD": {
      "type": "string",
      "source": "" or ""
      ...
  }

Reminder! The above field types can all utilize the “mandatory” property, and they can all be used as fields in a table.

The “hidden” property exists and can be set top true to hide fields.

Table - a table

"TABLE": {
      "group": "extensions",
            "type": "array",
            "items": {
                "type": "object",
                "properties": {
                    //define column fields here
                    "column1": {
                        "type": "string",
                        "enum": ["a", "b" ... ],
                        "title": "Column 1"
                    }
                    ...
                }
            },
            //define an array of default rows here
            "default": [
                {
                    "column1": "a"
                }
                ...
            ]
  }
