Project > Communication tab > Email > Recipient's Email's field > Populate the email address of the project's primary contact

Currently, when the user goes to the Project record > Communication tab and clicks on the 'Email' button, the Email Address' field is blank. Some users would want this to field to auto-populate the email address of the Primary Contact attached to the Project record as seen under the 'Relationship's tab of the Project record.

1. Copy the following script and save it as a JavaScript (JS) file.

  function setRecEmailAddress(type,form){var entityType = nlapiGetFieldValue('entitytype'); var entity = nlapiGetFieldValue('entity'); nlapiLogExecution('DEBUG','First log','Record type is : ' + entityType);//Search the Primary Contactif (entityType == 'custjob') { var filters = [new nlobjSearchFilter('internalid',null,'anyof',entity)]; // get the internal id of the project columns = new Array(); columns.push(new nlobjSearchColumn('internalid','contactprimary')); columns.push(new nlobjSearchColumn('email','contactprimary')); var result = nlapiSearchRecord('job',null,filters,columns); // search the project if (result) { rec = result[0].getValue('internalid','contactprimary'); recEmail = result[0].getValue('email','contactprimary'); nlapiLogExecution('DEBUG','Contact\'s internal id','Contact\'s internal id is: ' + rec); nlapiSetFieldValue('recipient',rec); nlapiSetFieldValue('recipientemail',recEmail); }}}

2. Login to NetSuite and navigate to  Customization > Scripting > Scripts > New > User Event.
