Common Errors and FAQs

πŸ”΅ Can a custom form be set when creating a record?


πŸ”΅ Why are Custom fields not showing?

  • By default, only standard NetSuite fields are displayed. If your record includes required custom fields, validation will fail unless those fields are added manually.

    To fix:

    1. Ask your NetSuite Admin to grant permission to view your custom fields.

    2. Once permissions are updated, reload the ExtendSync add-in and add the fields using Configure Fields.

    πŸ’‘ Note: Each user must configure their own form layout in ExtendSync.
