Mandatory Fields - Configure fields and Permission Settings
Few Standard mandatory fields that are required to create records are exposed in the ExtendSync form.
You can add and remove fields in the ExtendSync form, know the actions you can do inside ExtendSync here.
However, if your NetSuite you have a field in NetSuite that is not set up as mandatory in NetSuite, you can set it up in the ExtendSync app without the need for Netsuite admin.
π For Lead and Prospect records, the Entity Status field is mandatory from our application. It is not advisable to remove this on the field setting as the user will get an error.
Additional Features
We are adding more features when creating records via the ExtendSync app.
Field Dependency Validation
Some fields in NetSuite do have advanced configuration, here a value in one field adjusts based on the selected value in other fields. ExtendSync will display a message if you need to select the field dependent on the current field for the list to propagate.
A prompt will appear if a dependent field is not present in the create form.
Auto-Scroll to dependent fields
This is in line with the field dependency validation. Click on the link of the field name in the message prompt to auto-scroll to the field to populate or review.
Remember Form Input
ExtendSync remembers the entries you entered in the form. If you are entering a value in the create form and then hit back and then return to the create form again, the entered values will remain in the form.
