How to add a Help text on the choices of variable when it is hovered?

[malik3]

I want to show a help text on the choices of a variable when I hover it. I have done it for the incident fields but now I need it for catalog item variable choices.

Hi Malik,

Try to write on-load client script for the incident table and please follow the below code for the onload client script.

function onLoad() {
//Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
g_form.addDecoration('impact', 'icon-help','Please provide help text here');

}

I was able to add the help text via this method successfully. Please try this solution.

Thanks,

Chaithanya S
