i need to show a field's text description only if the field is not empty

[Fowzan22558090s6v8]

hi,

i have a form where i want to dispay the descriptive text if its field is not empty. if the field happens to be empty i want the text to be hidden. 
NAME ______________

if the user doesnt fill in the Name_Field, i do not want "NAME" to show.

i tried doing this by making Name_Text field and using condition to show "NAME" if Name_Field is not empty. i couldnt get it work. is there an easy way to get this done?

As the custom Format script enter the following code:

if (event.value) event.value = "NAME " + event.value;

This will prevent the value the user entered from actually being edited, and will also not add the fixed text multiple times each time you edit the field...

As validation script of "Name_Field" field use this:

this.getField("Name_Text").value = event.value == "" ? "" : event.value;

thanks for the quick response. appreciate it. tried the code but it copies the "Name_Field" data into "Name_Text" field. i would like the "Name_Text" field to show "Name" if any data has been entered into "Name_Field"

Sorry, I thought this was a single field. Do you have one field for the label and another for the actual text?

What want you show when the field is empty?

[Fowzan22558090s6v8]

if "Name_Field" is empty i want "Name_Text" to be empty
if "Name_Field" has any data i want "Name_Text" to show "Name"

You can change the visibility of the label.

thank you so much @Nesa Nurani @try67. i got it to work as i wanted

For "Name_Text" i used 
if (event.value) event.value = "NAME ";
and for "Name_Field" i used

this.getField("Name_Text").value = event.value == "" ? "" : event.value;

In the script i gave you just change event.value to "NAME" like this:

this.getField("Name_Text").value = event.value == "" ? "" : "NAME";
