How do I modify the Help Label of Form Fields With Client Scripts?

[lesnettl]

How do I modify the Help Label of Form Fields With Client Scripts? I have a requirement that I dynamically modify the label of a variable in the Service Catalog. I have found plenty of help to accomplish this:

http://www.servicenowguru.com/system-ui/ui-scripts-system-ui/modifying-label-form-fields-client-scri...

http://www.servicenowguru.com/system-ui/field-styles-service-catalog-variables/

With the suggestions in these resources, I am able to modify the label using Catalog Client Scripting. But I can't figure out how to dynamically modify the help label (normally shown as "More Information" adjacent to the label). Does anyone know how to do this?

Thank you!

Thanks, Pratik. I used your code to create a UI Script that actually will change the help text that appears when the "More Information" link is clicked on a catalog variable. I can call this UI Script from a Catalog Client Script. (I combined your idea with the ideas from the others who helped me.)

Here is the UI   Script I created that works (I am using Eureka):

function changeCatalogVariableHelpLabel(field, label, color, weight){

      try{

              var variableID = g_form.getControl(field).id;

              var labelElement =   gel('help_'+variableID +'_wrapper');

              labelElement.select('td').each(function(elmt) {

                      if(elmt.className == ''){

                              elmt.innerHTML = label;

                      }

              });

              if(color)

                      labelElement.style.color = color;

              if(weight)

                      labelElement.style.fontWeight = weight;

      }catch(e){}

}

Hello,

I just wanted to run an 'update' to this answer. I got this to work but it seems that in Geneva and later (I have a Fuji instance) you need to get rid of "sys_original" that is a prefix to the ID.

var variableID = g_form.getControl(field).id;
var fixedID = variableID.replace("sys_original.", "");

Then you could go ahead and do:

var labelElement =   gel('help_'+ fixedID +'_wrapper');

and the code should work now. Thank you for the solution, this helped me out. You could also reference Show/Hide Service Catalog Variable Help Text - ServiceNow Guru   as that is where I got my answer. Thanks all!

Do you have a full script that will work in the Service Portal?

I am just trying to change a variable label in an OnChange script, but can't find anything that works in the Service Portal.

Sorry I do not. I am just now starting to develop for the Service Portal. If I find a solution while I go along, I will make sure to follow up. My apologies and good luck!
