Common Errors and FAQ
π΅ Can a custom form be set when creating a record?
ExtendSync automatically uses the default form assigned to your record. If your preferred form differs from the default, you can manually select it by adding the Custom Form field. Follow the steps outlined here.
π΅ Why are Custom fields not showing?
By default, only standard fields are displayed therefore validation will fail if the user tries to save a record that has required custom fields. To avoid this, users should configure the fields to be entered and include the appropriate required fields.
Request permissions to your Netsuite admin to expose the fields. Once the permissions are added, adjust the form in Outlook. Check out troubleshooting guide here.
Note that at present this requires each ExtendSync user to make their own modifications.
