Question

Modern Designer field label

Forms

Updated January 31, 2024

asked on January 19, 2023

Is it possible to change a field label based on another field value? I know we can change the label in the Classic Designer using JavaScript.

What options do we have in the Modern Designer to change a field label?

Currently, I have a series of fields set out in a way to look like a table. Then I change the "column labels" to show the financial year i.e. 2021/2022 based on a starting year value. This is all achieved with JavaScript in the Classic Designer.

I have tried this JavaScript based on the documentation...

LFForm.onFieldChange(function(){ LFForm.changeFieldSettings({fieldId: 5}, {label: LFForm.getFieldValues({fieldId: 4})}) }, {fieldId: 4});

Which works for a field not in a table. But doesn't work for a field within a table.

Hi Jonathan,

It was a known bug that changeFieldSettings could not change the label for field in table;

It worked for a field in collection though.
