Bring the field on the form display and hide it using g_form.setDisplay

Then you will be able to read it as its present on the form. if its not in the layout itself then you will have to read it from server side and will have to make an ajax call for it, long way.

The field name should be number instead?

var a = g_form.getValue('number');

Hi Anurag Tripathi,

Thanks.

The field name is 'task_number' only. i am sure about it.

g_form can fetch the values of the field only if they exist on the form layout.

So if the fields don't exist on the form layout, then display rule part suggested by Harsh is the way to go.
