access xfa field using JS in acrobat console?

You have to go throuh the XFA model, which, as it happens is a property of the document object.
like this:

var f = this.xfa.form.form1.main1.inputSg;

I can access my field fine in the console as requested. When I run the exact same code inside a trusted function script called from my form I get this in the console

this.xfa has no properties
24:XFA:form1[0]:main[0]:#subform[0]:createDef[0]:click

Any ideas?

Thanks.

The keyword "this" is a pointer to the current object. In many cases it is in fact a pointer to the document object, but no always, and not in this context. Since you are calling the trusted function from the LiveCycle form code you should pass in an object (from the LiveCycle form context) that relates to the object you want to affect. For example, you could pass in the field that you want to affect, "form1.main1.inputSg", or the document object pointer, which is in "event.target". So your function might look like this.

Do not rely on the keyword "this" when the context is not known.
