Description

It can be useful to know if a field is displayed or not at some specific moments and this method provides that ability. This can be useful to determine if additional processing is required for a field (for example if it is shown, an update might be required).

This is the field specific equivalent of displayed() which can be used to determine the names of all of the fields are shown in the form.
