g_form.setDisplay() not working when replacing g_form.setVisible()

[armanoj]

Hi Community,

I am trying to replace g_form.setVisible() with g_form.setDisplay() in a Client Script.

The existing code using setVisible() works as expected:

g_form.setVisible('field_name', false);

However, when I replace it with:

g_form.setDisplay('field_name', false);

the field is still visible on the form.

I have verified that I am using the correct syntax and the correct field name. The Client Script is executing, and setVisible() works correctly for the same field, but setDisplay() does not seem to have any effect.

Has anyone experienced this behavior?

@armanoj, 

Check if table and field scope matches the client script scope.

This article might explain the issue, check out setDisplay part.
