How to Submit NetSuite Transactions Without Mandatory Lines

To bypass client-side mandatory line constraints and allow server-side scripts to manage transaction line creation, a client script can be implemented. This approach can be particularly useful in scenarios where initial line data is not available on the client side but will be populated later by server processes. The following SuiteScript 2.x client script function, typically deployed as a saveRecord entry point, demonstrates how to achieve this:

javascript
function onSave_HandleEasyAskData(context) {
    var currentRecord = context.currentRecord;
    var hasHiddenData = CP_CUE_QuoteEasyAskIntegration.HIDDEN_DATA.items.length > 0;
    if (hasHiddenData) {
        // This method has been observed to potentially bypass client-side mandatory line constraints.
        // Note: The direct manipulation of a field like 'haslines' for this specific purpose
        // is not widely documented as a standard practice in current NetSuite SuiteScript 2.x.
        currentRecord.setValue({ fieldId: 'haslines', value: true });
    }
    return true;
}
