    Hello Michelle, I had the same need and i solved it with a getElementsByName in Javascript: document.getElementsByName("field_name")[1]; you have to specify [1] because the fields are placed in a div with the same name so [0] is the div and [1] the field itself. Hope that i helped ! Léo

    Hi Michelle, Try this, where the highlighted value is the name of your field. var field_div = document.getElementsByName("name")[0]; var label = field_div.getElementsByClassName("sys_f_label")[0]; // some logic here to decide color label.style.color = "red"; This code gets the div that contains all of the field's components, and then retrieves the element inside that div with the class the client uses for styling labels.
