g_form get label of choice

[xiaix]

I have a string field on a form that has a choice list.

It's the "Label" of the choice list that I want:

If I do g_form.getLabelOf('u_computer_type'), of course it will return:   Computer Type

What trickery can I do to get the label of the chosen choice?

4.8.10 Get the label for a choice list value

var choiceValue = g_form.getValue(<fieldName>); 
var choiceLabel = g_form.getOption(<fieldName>, choiceValue).text;

Great, very useful.

Unfortunately, g_form.getOption() doesn't work with Service Portal ( for now ...)

There is a topic with @Chuck and @Brad about it here : g_form.getOptions not working in the portal. alternative

Freaking genius.   Thank you!

var choiceValue = g_form.getValue(<fieldName>); 
var choiceLabel = g_form.getOption(<fieldName>, choiceValue).text;

is no longer working in the current Service Portal, you can use this instead;

var valueLabel = g_form.getDisplayValue(<fieldName>);
