DX API for “Run visibility condition on client”
Can anybody provide what is in the JSON response when Visibility of a field is set to "Condition (when)" and “Run visibility condition on client” is checked?

@polusPerhaps, we misunderstand the functionality. We expect if 'Run visibility condition on client' or 'Run required condition on client' options are selected, the checking condition will be passed to the UI via the DX API, so that the checking is performed at UI.
Are you saying that the checking condition will not be passed from the server to the UI in the DX API, when "condition on client" is selected?
Thanks!

@PAULTANG Unless a refresh call happens(which again is a server trip) for evaluating the condition, there will not be any explicit calls made to server if this option is checked.
@PAULTANG
The 'Run visibility condition on client' or 'Run required condition on client' options usually shows up when you select 'Condition (expression)' on a field and not for Condition (when). This option is to reduce the server trips or server calls and hence they don't be part of the request payload. Copied response field configuration-specific metadata from the response payload.
If you are using DX API v1, use WHEN rules and on-change refresh actions.
For DX API version 2, use VIEW rules and edit the VIEW rule from app studio Configure View option to include expressions/condition(Custom condition option from the VIEW rule configuration). Sample screenshots with request/response payload below. Notice the configurations for condition(when), condition(expression), and context data summary in the response below.
"visibility": "@W IsIncident_c11n"
"visibility": "@E .AdditionalInfoNeeded == 'Yes'"
"summary_of_when_conditions__": {
"IsIncident_c11n": false
}
