value vs rawValue

[Amal Elaine]

So I've been parsing fields and changing values in field events to the max.  I often get burned because I did a "field.rawValue" when I should have done a "field.value", or vice versa.

 

Can someone help me understand the difference?  And when you would use ".value" vs ".rawValue"? 

 

Thanks in advance,

RawValue is the unformatted value. The type depends upon the type of
object. For example, objects that require a color value, this property
specifies a comma-separated list of values for each color
component of the color space in the form r,g,b.
Alternatively, the rawValue property of a field object is a string
representing the actual value displayed in the field, or the field¹s bound
value.

The value object encloses a single unit of data content. There is also a
formattedValue which is the formatted value of the object.
