Excluding Custom Mass Updates from Script Deployments to Protect Deployed Scripts and Workflows

When performing mass updates to existing records in NetSuite, it’s important to ensure that these updates don’t inadvertently impact any deployed scripts or workflows associated with those records. To achieve this, you can exclude the custom mass update from the execution context of script deployments. This means that while the mass update is in progress, it won’t trigger any deployed developments on the affected records.

To do this, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the script deployment record in NetSuite.
2. Go to the “Context Filtering” subtab.
3. In the “Execution Context” field, exclude the custom mass update from the list of contexts where the script should run.

By excluding the custom mass update from the script deployment’s execution context, you can ensure that the mass update operation doesn’t interfere with any deployed scripts or workflows on the records being updated.
