country on Address subrecord requires the abbreviation string rather than the IID of the Country record

[steveklett]

When setting the country property on an Address subrecord I'm getting error:

You have entered an Invalid Field Value 227 for the following field: country

I've verified that it's the abbreviation value (e.g., 'US') that is required. The NetSuite record browser states this field is a select, and it is, but why it won't take an IID I cannot say. The workaround is to hit the underlying ns record instance like so:

newRec.nsrecord.getSubrecord({fieldId: 'shippingaddress'}).setValue({
    fieldId: `country`,
    value: getCountryById(230).abbrev
})

Yes, another NetSuite-ism. The easiest solution here it to make that a string or perhaps string | number in case NS silently changes how that select works...

Another temporary workaround would be

newRec.shippingaddress.country = getCountryById(230)!.abbrev as any

I plan to make the change and submit a PR, operative word is 'plan' I didn't realize you could cast to any like that, much cleaner, thanks for the tip. Hope all is well with you. :)

Aye, use any as a last resort, but once in a while you have no other great choice. You could probably also cast to unknown then to number but that's even more confusing.
