Custom Other Record Fields as XML Definitions
In SuiteCloud Development Framework (SDF), custom other record fields are represented by the othercustomfield object. To gather information specific to your business needs, you can create different types of custom fields and apply them to your custom forms or records. Use the other record field in the following situations:
-
To create a more specialized custom field when existing custom field available in NetSuite do not fit your needs
-
To use on records that without custom forms associated with them

In the NetSuite UI, custom other field is referred to as Other Record field.
Here is an example of an other record field. To view this page from the NetSuite UI, go to Customizaton > Lists, Records, & Fields > Other Record Fields > New.
When the other record field is included in a form, it might look like the following example.

In SDF, role access to custom other field is supported as a structured field with its own embedded structure. For more information about its supported fields and values, see roleaccesses.
This structured field is equivalent to the Role section in the following NetSuite UI:
Allow Delete of List/Record Values
You can use the Allow Delete of List/Record Values? when the fieldtype value on the custom field is set to List/Record.
The Allow Delete of List/Record Values field is represented by the onparentdelete element and takes the following values:
-
NO_ACTION — Prevent and Return Error
-
SET_NULL — Allow and Set Independent Values to Null
Here is the field and its options on the Validation and Defaulting subtab of the record as it appears in the UI.
Field Filter
In SDF, a field filter on custom other field is supported as a structured field with its own embedded structure. For more information about its supported fields and values, see customfieldfilters.
This structured field sets fields that appear on the Sourcing and Filtering subtab on other record field in NetSuite UI.
If you change the field type or the list/record for a field that is used for sourcing or filtering on other custom fields, all sourcing and filtering based on the field is removed.
Translation subtab
The translation subtab is not currently supported by SDF. To work with translations using SDF, use the Translation Collection object. For more information, see Translation Collection Object Fields in XML Definitions.
