Hide only the caption when field content is empty for a Adobe Print Form field

Dear all,

We try to hide only the caption of a field if the field content is empty.

a) The following code will hide the entire raw (entire field including caption). What should we change to the code to only hide the caption?

-------------------------------------------------------

if(this.rawValue == null)

{

  this.presence ="hidden"

}

-------------------------------------------------------

b) Another option would be to use conditional formatting -> change caption text to white colored text,  if the field content is empty to make it invisible on the printout.

Is there any options in ALD available or which code should be used to realize one of the above options?

Thank you in advance!

Kind regards,

Roy

change the script to:

if(this.rawValue == null)

{

     xfa.resolveNode("this.caption.value.#text").value = "";

}

The following has evaluated to null or missing: ==> liqladmin("SELECT id, value FROM metrics WHERE id = 'net_accepted_solutions' and user.id = '${acceptedAnswer.author.id}'").data.items [in template "analytics-container" at line 83, column 41] ---- Tip: It's the step after the last dot that caused this error, not those before it. ---- Tip: If the failing expression is known to be legally refer to something that's sometimes null or missing, either specify a default value like myOptionalVar!myDefault, or use <#if myOptionalVar??>when-present<#else>when-missing. (These only cover the last step of the expression; to cover the whole expression, use parenthesis: (myOptionalVar.foo)!myDefault, (myOptionalVar.foo)?? ---- ---- FTL stack trace ("~" means nesting-related): - Failed at: #assign answerAuthorNetSolutions = li...
