Why doesn't the getrawtransaction command with the verbose flag include the confirmations field?

Question

According to the official Bitcoin documentation, getrawtransaction should return a confirmations field, but I don't see that field in the response.

My response is:

Answer 1

Was the tx confirmed when you ran this? My node returns this, as expected:

  "blockhash": "000000000000000000033fa977be990449444794ecd5bb09826c9b5e8fcd8e4c",
  "confirmations": 146,
  "time": 1682292871,
  "blocktime": 1682292871

If the block isn't confirmed, those fields are omitted.
