Form Logger Script

I had a need to get the script field ID which isn’t readily available in the Script Editor and decided to do a quick form script so that I could pick it up later. If you’ve used my ‘Script Manager’ form convention, then just create a new form script in it called ‘Form Logger’.

You can call it without arguments to get all fields dumped, here’s some sample calling code:

document.getFormNamed('Script Manager').runScriptNamed('Form Logger');
formLogger.dump()

If you want to filter by type, you can specify the field type:

document.getFormNamed('Script Manager').runScriptNamed('Form Logger');
formLogger.dump({'type': ['script', 'text']});

And this is it’s output in the console:

Form Logger: Shipments
Type Filter: ["script","text"]
Layout: default
fld-c487390743c947969cbe661cff596855: text	Tracking Number
fld-0950c430cb0c41f79c51d43a544b366b: text	Carrier
fld-7a29242731d9451092c92d8586dbc94a: script	Tracking Details
fld-dddcdc15e1c44aa4a99bba6314dc7a07: script	Tracking URL Autocomplete
fld-9bee4fd0919e4b439e7bed8d5a6c1053: script	Tracking Number Reformat
fld-2cd0296ea0884c8cba3640d8e33f010b: script	Checkbox Flip Flop
fld-a9a09a61a9e949199e92d47c02fd364c: text	Shipment Order ID
fld-f7aba3b5ddd6430cb8e9a211e0086c84: script	Date Propagation
fld-45c8f29ec3214fc5aacbba73e2de3142: script	Order ID FK

*Note:* This won’t look as formatted in the console because it uses a proportional font.

Here’s the full script, it’s pretty simple:

// ========== Form Logger Start ========== //
// NAME: Form Logger
// VERSION: 1.0.1
// CHANGELOG:
//   1.0.1: Added support for custom form name and fix for "getId" rename.

/**
 * Method to dump out the field ID's, type and names with the ability to filter by type.
 */
if (formLogger == undefined)

var formLogger = (function() {

	return {
	
		dump: function({type = [], layout = 'default', formName = ''} = {})
		{
			let targetForm = form;
			if (formName)
			{
				targetForm = document.getFormNamed(formName);
			}

			console.log('Form Logger: ' + targetForm.name);
			console.log('Type Filter: ' + JSON.stringify(type));
			console.log('Layout: ' + layout);
	 		var fields = targetForm.getFields();

			for (field in fields)
			{
				if (type.length == 0 || type.includes(fields[field].fieldType)) 
				{
					console.log(fields[field].getId() + ": " + fields[field].fieldType + "\t" + fields[field].name);
				}
			}
		
		}
	}
})();
// ========== Form Logger End ========== //

As you might gather, I want to have a layout additional filter but haven’t gotten there yet. Maybe in a later version.
