How to Display HTML Content or Links in NetSuite Sublists?

The 'inlinehtml' field type is not supported in NetSuite sublists. A common workaround is to utilize the 'text' field type to display HTML content, such as clickable links or buttons. This approach is particularly useful in Suitelets where a sublist displays items, and each line requires interactive elements for viewing or editing.

To implement this workaround:n

1. Create your sublist (e.g., subListOrders).n

2. Add the desired columns to the sublist using the 'text' field type. For example, to add 'View' and 'Edit' columns:n

nvar columnView = subListOrders.addField({n    id: 'custpage_sublist_so_view',n    type: serverWidget.FieldType.TEXT,n    label: 'View'n});nvar columnEdit = subListOrders.addField({n    id: 'custpage_sublist_so_edit',n    type: serverWidget.FieldType.TEXT,n    label: 'Edit'n});n

1. When populating the sublist, set the value of these 'text' fields with the desired HTML, such as an tag for a button or link. The VIEW_LINK and EDIT_LINK variables can be dynamically set to direct users to the appropriate NetSuite page, another Suitelet, or an external URL.n

nsubListOrders.setSublistValue({n    id: 'custpage_sublist_so_view',n    line: i,n    value: '<a href="VIEW_LINK">View</a>'n});nsubListOrders.setSublistValue({n    id: 'custpage_sublist_so_edit',n    line: i,n    value: '<a href="EDIT_LINK">Edit</a>'n});n
