Has Microsoft released an approved script on updating the new "To" field on the Internet Information window in GP2013? I imagine it would look something like the following (I just threw this together real quick as an example):
update sy01200 set EmailToAddress = INET1 where INET1 <> ''
Anyone know if anything official from Microsoft has been released?
Thanks!

I have the same question (0)William,
I do not expect Microsoft to ever release an 'approved script' to copy the value from the INET1 field to the EmailToAddress field.
The INET1 field is not necessarily an Email address. That is merely the default label that was assigned to this field when the INET window was introduced. The INET1 field is no better fit for an Email address as the INET2 field. Additionally, in order for an Email address to be functional in any of the INET fields you needed to prefix it with MAILTO: I think this prefix is neither necessary nor appropriate in the new email address fields.
As far as your update script, I would consider checking to make sure the EmailToAddress field was empty before I replaced it with the value in the INET1 field. If this works for your company to copy over the fields, it looks like you have a pretty good handle on how to do it.
I do not have any insight on what Microsoft may or may not do, it just doesn't make sense to me that they would release such a script.
Kind regards,
Leslie
