What are the LIMITATION of Netsuite's Workflow and How to over come LIMITATION issue?

Hi All,

Workflows are best alternative for User Event and Schedule Script. Workflows are very helpful for
functional people and reduce need for Netsuite Developer, but there are few limitations:


- You Can not set value for Multi select on edit etc, it only works for create Mode.
- No Access to Sub-list.. With New Release(2018.1.0) Workflow will have access to Item Sublist also.You have to use Sublist Action Group to access Sublist in workflow.

- No Access to Project and Project Template Record.
- Can Not add Custom Error Message.
- PL/SQL can be tough to use for people who are not from Tech background.
- Can not use data from multiple records.(Some How Saved Search can help in solve this).
- CC and BCC emails and attachment can not be dynamic.

How to Get Rid of these:

- Previously, There was no supporting script for Workflow, but later Netsuite Introduce Workflow Action
Script to empower Workflow. Now using workflow action you can Access Sub-list, Set Multi select values,
Access to project record, add custom error message , add simple if else logic and no need to apply PL/SQL
logic in formula, you can go to any record and get data based on condition, and you can update CC, BCC and add any attachment as per logic.

Now this workflow will work like User Event or Schedule Script.

Please let me know if you have any query or any limitation you can think of.

** Merging of Template for Project is not supported by Netsuite.

Thanks
