Add hint tooltip for a field in a list view

Hi,

I want to add a hint text/tooltip to a field/column in the list view (NOT inside the form: this I know how to do)

thanks,

Hi,

In the list view, when you hover over the text, it shows you the complete text only for the fileds where you define the Hint. Thats ServiceNow OOB functionality.

Also it's not possible to disable this behavior, check here:

Hope this can answer your question!

Hi,

If you have tool tip added on your field, it will show up in the list header as shown below (by hovering over it)

you can add this on the hint column of the field slabel

Hi, Thanks for the answer. I forgot to add this: not in the header itself. I want it in the record list when I hover over the field

I dont think there is any way to achieve that oob.
