Use nlapiLookupField() for joined fields

Use nlapiLookupField() for joined fields

The following example returns the customer email, contact email and contact entity id for a customer specified by the customer recordId. In this scenario, using a joined field lookup on the array "cust_fields" eliminates having to perform multiple nlapiLookupField calls (one for customer's email, and another for contact.email and contact.entityid) to obtain the customer and contact information:

Example:

function joinFieldsInAnArray()
{
      var customer_id = 1;// customer's internal id

      var cust_fields = ['email','contact.email','contact.entityid'] ;

      var contactfname = nlapiLookupField('customer',customer_id,cust_fields);

      var custEmail= contactfname.email;
      var conEmail= contactfname['contact.email'];
      var conEnt = contactfname['contact.entityid'];

      nlapiLogExecution('DEBUG','customer.email',custEmail);
      nlapiLogExecution('DEBUG','contact.email',conEmail);
      nlapiLogExecution('DEBUG','contact.entityid',conEnt);


}
