Modify the compose section in workspace

[Nagashree5]

Hi All,

I want to modify the Compose section in a custom workspace. Currently, in the comments box it is showing as ""Type your comments here". I want to customize this.

Can anyone please guide me in achieving this.

Can you try writing down a onLoad client script on Incident record having GLOBAL field unchecked & View field set to 'workspace' without quotes.

Put below code in it & see if it works -

var comments = g_form.getControl("comments");
if(comments) {
comments.placeholder = "Whatever new text you want, put here";
}

Do mark this response as CORRECT if it works or helpful if it helps achieving some part of your requirement.

Hi @Nagashree5,

These messages come from sys_ui_message table. You might not see them in the table, if you have only one language installed in your instance. But, you can create a new message with the same key and the customized text value that you want to show.
Here are the messages that are rendered on the compose section from sys_ui_message:

1. Type your {fieldLabel} here
2. Post an Activity Stream message
3. Everyone can see this comment
4. Post {fieldLabel}

You can update the messages and see the changes on the UI.
