**domain**: client 

**language**: javascript

Description
===========

Use the ``set_fields`` method to define and store internally the ``fields``
option that will be used by the 
:doc:`open <m_open>` 
method, when its own ``fields`` option is not specified. The 
:doc:`open <m_open>` 
method clears internally stored parameter value. 

The ``field_list`` parameter is a list of field names.

.. code-block:: js

    item.open({fields: ['id', 'invoicedate']});

.. code-block:: js

    item.set_fields(['id', 'invoicedate']);
    item.open();
