I think the above solution doesnt get you anywhere.

I want to know something.

is the field that is suppressed conditionally or manually suppressed?

If it is conditionally suppressed, then you can go into the conditional suppression formula of the field and include a variable that is set to 1 when suppressed and 0 otherwise.

You can then use this variable in field3 and see if the field is suppressed by checking if the variable returns 1 or 0.

Let me know if you succeed.

Thanks
