Version 31.1.0

Firefox

The Firefox version is currently in beta and open to anyone with a SuiteAdvanced license.

Search for Field ID

Sometimes it’s difficult to find a field on a form. NetSuite already provides a solution to this if you know the field label. Just enter the field label into the global search, and one of the search suggestions will take you to it.

But what if you only know the field ID? Now you can quickly find it with a shortcut!

Access this option via the SuiteAdvanced menu or by pressing Ctrl (or Cmd) + Shift + F.

If the field exists on the form, SuiteAdvanced will navigate to it and highlight the field label.

Record Inspector

This brand new feature allows viewing all the details for any given record.

It opens in the browser’s side panel allowing maintained visibility during tab switching.

All sublist fields are shown.

Search by field ID.

Search by field type.

Inspect Record Context Menu Item

Another way to open the Record Inspector is through the browser’s context menu.

Right clicking on a record page, reveals an “Inspect Record” option, which will open the Record Inspector for the current record.

Note: In Chrome only, the Enable Context Menu Features option must be enabled in Settings for this to work.

Edit Record Context Menu Item

Now you can go directly to a record’s edit mode by right clicking on a link to it and selecting “Edit Record”.

Note: In Chrome only, the Enable Context Menu Features option must be enabled in Settings for this to work.

Sublist Line Numbers

There’s a new option in settings called Sublist Line Numbers.

This will display a “Line” column on editable sublists.

Enable OAuth2 Button

When you’re trying to authenticate to NetSuite from another application but OAuth2 is not enabled, now you can quickly enable OAuth2 with a button.

Set Field Value from Field Help

Now it’s easy to set the value of a disabled field. Open the field’s help text, enter the desired value, and click “Set”.

TypeScript Files as Plain Text

Some people like uploading their SuiteScript TypeScript files to NetSuite as a backup. The problem is that the default mime type for .ts files is video/vnd.dlna.mpeg-tts, which causes NetSuite to interpret them as video files. This means it isn’t possible to view the contents of .ts files using NetSuite’s code editor.

This update of SuiteAdvanced solves this. Now, when uploading .ts files to the file cabinet via SuiteAdvanced drag and drop, the mime type is overridden to text/x-typescript. This causes NetSuite to interpret them as plain text, which means they will be viewable using the NetSuite code editor.

Note: This will only work if the file is uploaded via SuiteAdvanced drag and drop.

Object IDs in Bundle Builder

It can be a challenge selecting the correct objects in the Bundle Builder when they have the same name.

Now you can easily tell them apart by their internal IDs.

New Code Syntax Highlighting Themes

The default themes from WebStorm (Dark) and VS Code (Light & Dark) have been added. (WebStorm (Light) was already there.)

For themes that have both light and dark versions, there are now dynamic versions of those as seen below.

WebStorm (Auto)

Code Editor Theming

Now you can have your favorite editor theme in NetSuite!

SuiteQL Studio

The SuiteQL tool within SuiteAdvanced is now called SuiteQL Studio.

Here’s what else is new:

Inspect Table

The NetSuite Records Catalog is great, but it takes too many steps to navigate to tables (especially sub-tables).

Now you can quickly open a table by entering the table name using the Inspect Table link in SuiteQL Studio.

The TransactionLine table is a perfect example of a sub-table that isn’t easily accessible via native NetSuite.

_color

SuiteQL Studio already allowed setting the background color of a result row by including a column with an alias of _bg.

You can now also set the text color by including a column with an alias of _color.

Patterns

_bg and _color aren’t the only niche types of syntax supported by SuiteQL Studio.

View the new Patterns subtab in the Variable Manager for a list of other things it can do.

Global Script Execution Log Lazy Loading

Previously, SuiteAdvanced would render all code blocks in the global script execution log on page load. An extensive amount of JSON and/or XML could cause the web page to lag.

Now JSON and XML convert to code blocks only after they are scrolled into view allowing for smoother interactions.

NetSuite 2025.1 Compatibility

These were features that previously existed but broke due to a NetSuite update.

• NetSuite icons
  • Record type icons were not displaying correctly or at all in some places. Redwood icons are now used when using the Redwood theme.
• My Roles page: Account numbers showing next to account names
• Clicking the empty area in a subtab bar or a control bar scrolls the visible sublist to the top.
• URL updating when switching subtabs
  • When switching subtabs, the URL of the web page updates to reflect the selected subtab.
  • When navigating directly to this URL, native NetSuite auto selects that subtab again.
• Custom Roles: Bulk Edit button
  • This was still working, but the UI of the modal window was all stretched out.
