Full set: 124 questions
Answer options
A: Enabled
B: Normal Correct answer
C: Inline Text
D: Show
Correct Answer:
B. Normal
Explanation

In NetSuite, the Display Type setting on a custom field determines how it appears and behaves on a form. To make a field editable, the "Normal" display type must be selected. This renders the field as a standard input control (e.g., a text box, dropdown list) that users can interact with to enter or change data, provided their role has the necessary permissions. Other display types render the field as read-only or hide it from view entirely.

Why Incorrect

A. Enabled: This display type makes the field visible on the form but read-only (grayed out), preventing users from editing its value.
C. Inline Text: This displays the field's value as plain text within the form's layout, not as an interactive field, making it non-editable.
D. Show: "Show" is not a valid Display Type option for custom fields in NetSuite. The standard options are Normal, Disabled, Inline Text, and Hidden.

It also defines "Disabled" (functionally equivalent to "Enabled" in this context) and "Inline Text" as non-editable display types.
