Using custom lists in SuiteScripts is an important skill, and knowing how to load them can be tricky. This difficulty has less to do with the complexity of the task itself and is much more attributable to a lack of documentation in the NetSuite ecosystem about how to accomplish this.
Loading a Custom List: SuiteScript Code Sample
The code snippet below explains how to load and use a custom list in SuiteScript. Be sure to edit this code example to meet the needs of your particular use case.
//Use the record module to load in the script.
//The record "type" must be "customlist".
var customList = record.load({ type: "customlist", id: listId });
//Loop over the list options as follows
var numLines = customList.getLineCount({ sublistId: "customvalue" });
for (var i = 0; i < numLines; i++) {
//Grab the necessary option values. A few example are shown here.
var optionId = customList.getSublistValue({
sublistId: "customvalue",
fieldId: "valueid",
line: i,
});
var optionLabel = customList.getSublistValue({
sublistId: "customvalue",
fieldId: "value",
line: i,
});
