Dear Developers,

As the title said, is there any best way to get the element of a field\_code in Kintone? Like getElementById but using field\_code instead.

Any answer would be appreciated, thank you.

The Kintone API allows you to get an element depending on the page and field as below, so I would think those are the best way.

●kintone.app.getFieldElements(fieldCode) at Record list Page

[https://developer.kintone.io/hc/en-us/articles/213148937-Get-Record-List#getFieldElements](https://forum.kintone.dev/hc/en-us/articles/213148937-Get-Record-List#getFieldElements)

●kintone.app.record.getFieldElement(fieldCode) at Record Details Page  
&nbsp;(Cannot be called on the Record edit/create page, or the notification page)

[https://developer.kintone.io/hc/en-us/articles/213148957-Get-Record#record\_getFieldElement](https://forum.kintone.dev/hc/en-us/articles/213148957-Get-Record#record_getFieldElement)

&nbsp;

●kintone.app.record.getSpaceElement(id) at Record Details/Create/Edit Page

[https://developer.kintone.io/hc/en-us/articles/213148957-Get-Record#record\_getSpaceElement](https://forum.kintone.dev/hc/en-us/articles/213148957-Get-Record#record_getSpaceElement)

Hi Junko, please pardon for my very late reply.

I already tried these functions, and I’ve found some way to get the element of a field that I want to get from any event (index, create, edit, or detail)

I appreciate it, thank you
