Best method to determine if a field is displayed on a form

[Patrick Logan]

Hey all, 

I'm looking for the best method for a Client Script to determine if a field is visible on a form. Searching around, I found the following but it doesn't seem to work.  The field I'm cocerned with is "support_by" and I'm using the comments field just to determine the result of the if statement. 

if (g_form.isVisible('supported_by')) {
    g_form.setValue("comments","Visible");
} else {
   g_form.setValue("comments","Not Visible");
}

Hi @Patrick Logan 

the correct method for your use case is:

g_form.isFieldVisible('FIELD NAME');

Hi kindly check this code

function onLoad() {

   //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

   var visibleField = g_form.isFieldVisible('short_description');

   if(visibleField == true){

    g_form.setValue('description' , "field is visible");

   }else{

    g_form.setValue('description' , "field is not visible");

   }

}
