Does NetSuite load custom sublists when a record is being printed through freemarker / advanced pdf templates?

I am a NetSuite newbie, so I apologize in advance if this has a simple answer that I do not see.

We have a custom record type that among other things, has a field indicating the list/record (invoice or credit memo) that a particular custom record is related to. Using this, I have a saved search sublist on the invoice record.

When this invoice is being printed / emailed using an advanced template, I can't seem to be able to find this sublist using freemarker syntax (I can access the normal item sublist just fine). I have also tried to make this custom record type a child / parent relationship with the invoice, but i get the same result.

Based on this SuiteAnswer and the NS help article on freemarker, it looks like it is possible.

When I load an invoice record in the UI and append &xml=t to the URL, I can see the normal items sublist, but I do not see any other sublist available.

Is there something I need to do to make a custom sublist exposed to the template engine?

You'll need to find the internal id of the sublist. Right click on the title of the sublist and select 'Inspect Element'. You'll notice a repeated string in the html similar to customsublist1.

Once you have that you should be able to access the line items using normal Freemarker sequence syntax. 

<#list record.customsublist1 as item>
  ${item.field1}
<#/list>
