How to Detect a ‘Make Copy’ Event in NetSuite SuiteScript Beyond beforeLoad

To identify if a transaction was created using the 'Make Copy' function in NetSuite's beforeSubmit or afterSubmit events, implement the following steps:

1. Create a Custom Checkbox Field

   First, create a custom checkbox field on the relevant transaction record type (e.g., custpage_is_make_copy). This field should be configured as a custom *record* field in NetSuite's UI.

2. Implement a User Event Script

   Develop a User Event script that includes both beforeLoad and beforeSubmit (or afterSubmit) functions. The beforeLoad function will detect if the current event type is 'copy' and, if so, mark the custom checkbox field on the record. The beforeSubmit function will then read this field's value.

javascript/** * @NApiVersion 2.x * @NModuleScope SameAccount * @NScriptType UserEventScript */define(['N/log', 'N/ui/serverWidget', 'N/record'], function(log, serverWidget, record) {    function beforeLoad(scriptContext) {        var type = scriptContext.type;        var form = scriptContext.form;        var newRecord = scriptContext.newRecord;        if (type === scriptContext.UserEventType.COPY) {            log.debug('Copy Event - Setting custom information field');            // Set the value of the custom record field            newRecord.setValue({                fieldId: 'custpage_is_make_copy', // Assuming this is a custom record field created in NetSuite                value: true,                ignoreFieldChange: true            });            // Optionally, hide the field on the form if it's visible            var copyFieldOnForm = form.getField({                id: 'custpage_is_make_copy'            });            if (copyFieldOnForm) {                copyFieldOnForm.updateDisplayType({                    displayType: serverWidget.FieldDisplayType.HIDDEN                });            }        }        if (type === scriptContext.UserEventType.CREATE) {            log.debug('Create Event');        }    }    function beforeSubmit(scriptContext) {        var type = scriptContext.type;        var newRecord = scriptContext.newRecord;        var isMakeCopy = newRecord.getValue({            fieldId: 'custpage_is_make_copy'        });        if (isMakeCopy) { // Check if the checkbox is true            log.debug('Before Submit of a Copy', type);        } else {            log.debug('Before Submit of a Create', type);        }    }    return {        beforeLoad: beforeLoad,        beforeSubmit: beforeSubmit    };});

This script first sets the custpage_is_make_copy field to true during a 'copy' event in beforeLoad. Subsequently, the beforeSubmit function retrieves this field's value from the newRecord object to determine if the transaction was copied.
