Relabel column header in table in new forms designer

Forms Version 11

As I am typing this it seems like a dumb question, but I am not seeing column headers in the JS documentation provided by Laserfiche. Anyone been down this road already?

I have the variable I need relabeling a non-column label and works great. Now I'm trying to set it on the column. I can't just change the ID.

Thanks!

//Change label on day of week to include date
LFForm.onFieldChange(function(){LFForm.changeFieldSettings( {fieldId: 45}, {label: LFForm.getFieldValues({fieldId: 50})} )}, {fieldId: 50});

Hi Chris, this code will change the label of a field based on the value input into another field.

My input Value was Field 4, My field label to change is field 5.

If you use Blur, the Field Label will change once you leave the field (4)

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

If you use Change, the Label will change as you type into Field (4). Every character input into a field is seen as a change in the Layout Designer.

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

Thanks Steve! I can get that far. But can you get it to do that on a column header label in a table? That is the real question :)

It mentions that it can do that in the help documentation.

It works the same in a Table. All I did was change the target field to the FieldID of Column 2 in the Table
LFForm.onFieldBlur(function(){
LFForm.changeFieldSettings({fieldId: 8}, {label: LFForm.getFieldValues({fieldId: 4})}) }
, {fieldId: 4});

See picture below

I tested it on Laserfiche Forms Professional Version 11.0.2311.50553 (Update 5) and it worked as expected. I don't have an older system to try against.

I will be updating my Dev to Update 5 tomorrow morning, so we'll see if that is the culprit.
