Adobe forms Conditional printing again again

[TMNielsen]

I know this question has been asked and answered many times before, but I can't find any answer that really goes in-depth.

I understand the basic

if ( your_condition ) {
    this.presence = "hidden"; //Hide current object
}

but all the examples are always something about a condition on "this" like

if ( this.rawValue == "" || this-rawValue == null ) {
    this.presence = "hidden"; //Hide current object
}

but I need a conditon on "that" - meaning the condition must check an other field that "this".

"That" other field is available as input in the context, but it is not printet, so it is not anywhere in the layout except in the dataview.

So in my dataview I have a graphic called BMARK_GRAPH and a structure called Z_LB_MAIN_LR and in that structure I have field called RECYCLED_CASING.

The BMARK_GRAPH is in the layout and I want to hide it by putting a condition in the initialize event.

I have tried many variations but so far no luck.

Example that does not work:

data.#pageSet[0].Page1.OutputArea.BMARK_GRAPH::initialize - (JavaScript, client)
<strong>if ( Z_LB_MAIN_LR.RECYCLED_CASING.rawValue == "X" )
{
	this.presence = "hidden";
}</strong>

So, what is the correct syntax for this condition when i must refer to an other field that is in the context, but not in the layout.

PS. is it possible to debug this javascript?

Solution:

data.#pageSet[0].Page1.OutputArea.BMARK_hidable_subform::initialize - (JavaScript, client)
var LV_recycled_casing = xfa.resolveNode("$record.ZLAB_TAB_STR.RECYCLED_CASING").value;
if ( LV_recycled_casing == "X" )
{
	this.presence = "hidden";
}
