Check / uncheck "Only show features visible in the map extent" for legend using ArcPy

[DavidField]

Does anyone know if there is code that can be used to check / uncheck the legend option "Only show features visible in the map extent"?

I seem to spend hours sorting through my layouts turning this on.

Does this work for you?

showVisibleFeatures : A Boolean that controls whether the legend item displays all values or only those values that appear in the visible extent.

Please check the sample code in LegendItem
