In NetSuite, address forms present a unique challenge when it comes to customization via SuiteScript. Unlike other records, it’s not possible to add new fields to address forms through a user event script. This limitation arises because the
ScriptContext.form
function is not available for address forms.
Since it is impossible for scripts to be deployed to either address records or their associated forms directly.
However, there is a workaround. Customizations for address forms can still be achieved using client scripts. These client scripts can be added through the standard form customization process:
Navigate to Customization –> Forms –> Address Forms
Here, you can apply client scripts to modify the behavior of the address forms as needed. While user event scripts may not work, client scripts offer a flexible way to extend the functionality of address forms and tailor them to your business requirements.
By understanding these constraints, you can still work around the limitations of user event scripts, but it may not be as effective in achieving the same level of customization within the address form structure.
