Is there a way to get a field label through the Rollbase AJAX API?
Thank you,
Greg
In case anyone else is trying to do something similar, I ended up splitting the fields into two, a text field to hold the label and a field of picklist, text, etc. type to hold the value. As long as you are consistent with naming conventions you can pass them to client-side code with rbf_selectQuery calls like "SELECT field1Label,field1Value FROM object1 where id = 1000" etc.
But I still think it would be good to be able to get the field label from the Rollbase API, so I will add an idea to that effect. If you agree please vote for it!

You can use rbf_getFieldDef Metadata API. However it is only available Admin users.
Too bad, thanks.
Hi,
I'm just curious about your use case. You asked whether there was a way to get the field label through the AJAX API, can you help me understand what you are trying to accomplish.
Sure - On portal pages I have client-side JS that creates charts, and I would like to get the field labels through AJAX calls for the chart titles.
Thanks,
Greg
So can rbf_getFieldDef work in a portal to generate e.g. labels for charts? Portal users are logging in, so AJAX calls will be from their session.
A simple API to get the field label would be perfect for this use case, and I would imagine for many others.
Thanks,
Greg
