How Do I Determine the Script Name of Fields I Can’t Click in NetSuite?

Learn a method to identify the script names of NetSuite fields and sublists that are not directly clickable on a record page.

Short answer

To find the script names of non-clickable fields or sublists in NetSuite, append &xmlT to the URL of the item page in edit mode. This action displays the underlying XML data, revealing the field and sublist names for analysis.

Scenario

NetSuite users may encounter situations where they need to identify the internal script names of fields or sublists on a record page, but these elements are not directly clickable or inspectable through standard browser developer tools. This often occurs with system-generated fields or complex sublist structures.

Solution

To reverse engineer the field and sublist names for elements that are not directly clickable, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to the desired item page in NetSuite and ensure it is in edit mode.

  2. Append &xmlT to the end of the URL in your browser's address bar.

  3. Press Enter to reload the page with the appended parameter.

  4. Review the output data, which will display the underlying XML structure, including the field and sublist names.
