In SuiteScript, can you set the customform field using record.submitFields?

I have a partner record where I would like to change the form if the category field is set to a certain value. However, I can't use this with certain SuiteScript functions because changing the form wipes out any changes that were made to the record. I'm trying to work around this using an afterSubmit function that will use record.SubmitFields to change the form and then redirect.toRecord to reload the page with the change. However, it's not changing the form value. Is there a way to do this with record.submitFields? Am I doing something incorrectly?

            var currentRecord = scriptContext.newRecord;
            var category = currentRecord.getValue('category');

            if(category == '3'){
                try{
                    record.submitFields({
                        type: record.Type.PARTNER,
                        id: currentRecord.id,
                        values: {
                            'customform': '105'
                        }
                    });
                    log.debug('success');
                } catch (e) {
                    log.error({title: 'error', details: e});
                }

            }

            redirect.toRecord({
                type: 'partner',
                id: currentRecord.id,
            });

        }

Yes you can. Whenever you create a url for a record you can generally add a cf parameter that takes the form id. It's the same vaule you'd use if you were setting the field 'customform'. So just skip the submitFields part and do:

redirect.toRecord({
    type: 'partner',
    id: currentRecord.id,
    parameters:{
       cf:105
    }
});

You can also set the custom form using the submitFields call but that only works for some types of records.

If you need to do this in the beforeLoad here is a fragment in Typescript. The trick to avoid an infinite loop is to check to see if you already have the correct form:

export function beforeLoad(ctx){
    let rec : record.Record  = ctx.newRecord;
    let user = runtime.getCurrentUser();
    if(user.roleCenter =='EMPLOYEE'){
        if(rec.getValue({fieldId:'assigned'}) != user.id){
            throw new Error('You do not have access to this record');
            return;
        }
    }else{
        log.debug({
            title:'Access for '+ user.entityid, 
            details:user.roleCenter
        });
    }
    
    if(ctx.type == ctx.UserEventType.EDIT){
        var approvalForm = runtime.getCurrentScript().getParameter({name:'custscript_kotn_approval_form'});
        let rec : record.Record  = ctx.newRecord;
        if( 3 == rec.getValue({fieldId:'custevent_kotn_approval_status'})){
            if(approvalForm != rec.getValue({fieldId:'customform'}) && approvalForm != ctx.request.parameters.cf){
                redirect.toRecord({
                    type: <string>rec.type,
                    id : ''+rec.id,
                    isEditMode:true,
                    parameters :{
                        cf:approvalForm
                    }

                });
                return;
            }
        }
    }
