How to add a hint to a true/false field?

[HaniyaH]

Hi,

I have a requirement to add a hint to a true/false field type. There are other fields in the system with the hint (little question mark in circle) but they seem to be reference fields.

I have checked the configure dictionary of the field and there is no help text field available for the form layout. How do I do this?

Thanks

Check boxes do not have hints. You could use a client script with showFieldMessage to display some text under the checkbox variable.

Hi @Brian Lancaster there is some customization in my instance and I was able to do that. I can’t recall what it was now but OOB this is not possible and I would have taken this approach. Thanks so much for your help

Hi @HaniyaH 

Unfortunately, This is not supported for checkbox.

For such requirements, try to write a onLoad scripts with show field message 

g_form.showFieldMsg('field_name', 'This is a sample help text', 'info');
