Set the sales rep on the record in a workflow

This sample is a user event script that sets the sales rep on the record in a workflow. To get a new record in SuiteScript 2.x, this code needs to be placed into a user event script in the beforeLoad, beforeSubmit, or afterSubmit entry point. For this example, the beforeLoad entry point is used.

The conversion of this script from SuiteScript 1.0 to SuiteScript 2.1 includes the following:

JSDoc tags are added at the top of the script to indicate the script version and script type.
The define statement is added which imports the N/currentRecord and N/runtime modules.
The return statement is added with the beforeLoad entry point.
The nlapiGetNewRecord function is changed to context.newRecord.
The nlapiGetContext and getSetting functions are changed to the runtime.getCurrentScript and the runtime.Script.getParameter methods.
The setFieldValue function is changed to the Record.setValue method.

SuiteScript 1.0 Script	SuiteScript 2.1 Script
`function changeSalesRep() { nlapiGetNewRecord().setFieldValue('salesrep', nlapiGetContext().getSetting('SCRIPT', 'custscript_salesrep')); }`	`/* * @NApiVersion 2.1 * @NScriptType UserEventScript */ define (['N/currentRecord', 'N/runtime'], (currentRecord, runtime) => { function changeSalesRep(context) { const myRecord = context.newRecord; const scriptObj = runtime.getCurrentScript(); const myScriptParam = scriptObj.getParameter({ name: 'custscript_salesrep' }); myRecord.setValue({ fieldId: 'salesrep', value: myScriptParam }); } return { beforeLoad: changeSalesRep }; });`
