title: How to set a field's value on the view mode of a NetSuite custom record, using client script?
body: <p>I have a doubt about the nlapiSetFieldValue and nlapiGetFieldValue methods on NetSuite API.</p>
  
  <p>Do these methods work somehow on client script, when the record is in view mode? I'm having a hard time getting and setting any fields values without accessing the DOM elements directly.</p>
  
  <p>Here's what I'm trying to achieve:
  I have a process running in background, and on a custom record's view mode I have a button to check its status. When the status changes, I only need to refresh one field with its current value, wich I'm getting via a restlet call.</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to avoid reloading the whole page, to improve performance.</p>
  
  <p>Please notice that I don't need to commit the value, because it already is saved on the record. I just need to show the updated status on runtime.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
