I am trying to access the below field value through an extension.

My goal is to make an HTTP POST request when another date field is populated, if email <> ' '. As you can see from the below, however, this field is not accessible through the Job record.

I've also tried created a duplicate field as a lookup:

    Field is on the page only and is taken from the contact table:

    field(ContactEmail; Contact."E-Mail")

                   {

                       Caption = 'Email';

                       ApplicationArea = Basic, Suite;

                       ExtendedDatatype = EMail;

                       Editable = false;

    So you will have to calculate it based on whether the assigned contact to the job has doesn’t have an empty e-mail

    Thanks for the suggestion, Josh. If I understand you correctly, my last snippet should be work but it's not. Any clue why? Would you do it differently?
