Get field/column label on client side

[SNDEV27]

Hi, 
Is there any way to get field/column label on client side script ?
I tried following 2 ways but no luck.

1. var a = g_form.getLabel('business_group'); 
2. var a = g_form.getLabel('cmdb_ci_business_app.business_group'); //table.backend_name

Can we achieve this ?

Hi @SNDEV27 

Can you try in this: 

g_form.getLabelOf('field_name');

Thanks and Regards

@SNDEV27 The correct method to extract the label is getLabelOf. Here is an example.

if (g_user.hasRole('itil')) {
    var oldLabel = g_form.getLabelOf('comments');
    g_form.setLabelOf('comments', oldLabel + ' (Customer visible)');
}
