Different field types require different syntax to access their values.

---

Accessing Fields

Context	Syntax
Form Script Editor	Form.data.FieldName
Logic Builder	data.FieldName
Inside repeat (Logic)	row.FieldName
jQuery (in repeat)	$(repeat).getval('FieldName')

---

Simple Fields

Text, Text Area, Number, Email, Single Checkbox

Form.data.Field_Name_txt

Single checkbox returns true or false.

---

Checkbox Group / Radio / Yes-No

Check if option selected

Form.data.Field_Name_cho["option name"]  // Returns true/false

Get overall value

Form.data.Field_Name_cho.Field_Name_cho

• Radio/Yes-No: Selected option value
• Checkbox Group: Comma-separated values (e.g., "option 1,option 3")

Get merge text

Form.data.Field_Name_cho.Mtext

---

Dropdown List

Property	Syntax
Value	Form.data.Field_cho.value
Merge text	Form.data.Field_cho.mtext
Label	Form.data.Field_cho.label

---

Person Control

Sub-field	Syntax
Title	Form.data.person.Sal_cho
First Name	Form.data.person.Name_First_txt
Middle Name	Form.data.person.Name_Middle_txt
Last Name	Form.data.person.Name_Last_txt
Full Name	Form.data.person.Name_Full_scr

---

Address Group

Sub-field	Syntax
Care of	Form.data.address.Addr_Co_txt

Repeat Panels

Access repeat data

var rpt = Form.data.Repeat_rpt;

Loop through rows

var rpt = Form.data.Repeat_rpt;
var result = '';

if (rpt !== undefined) {
  for (i = 0; i < rpt.length; i++) {
    result += rpt[i].Field_txt;
  }
}

Form.data.Output_txt = result;

Logic Builder (outside repeat)

// Use 'data' instead of 'Form.data'
var rpt = data.Repeat_rpt;

Logic Builder (inside repeat, same row)

// Use 'row' to access fields in same row
var fieldValue = row.Field_txt;

---
