help text in field for form

[brendanwilson84]

Hi Guys

I was wondering if it is possible to have   help text in a field within a form/table.

Thanks in advance

Hi Brendan,

Check out using annotations. They're a great way to get novices the information they need, while experts can hide them.

You could show a field message by using g_form.showFieldMsg()

g_form.showFieldMsg('field_name','Meassge you want to display','info');

Hi Brendan,

You could use an onload client script to set value in this field.

Setting default value will also work.

Hello,

You can define a hint for the label: Field Label Help - ServiceNow Wiki

Or you can have a default text in that field. But I would do the hint in the label.

Hope it helps!

Cheers,

Hector.
