@Naresh29  you can refer to the support article https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0712308 as well, which tells you how to get the help text field for checkbox variable.

Thanks,

As mentioned in KB article shared by Aman Help text is not supported for Checkbox variables.

Adding to Aman's point.

You can use field message via onChange Catalog client script to show the field message always

Catalog Client Script: onChange of that checkbox

UI Type - ALL

Applies to Catalog Item View - True

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {

	var message = 'Your message here';
	g_form.showFieldMsg('variableName', message,'info');

}
