We have requirement on change table .

The field should be display right after 'BackOut Plan '.

Field should be select Box . 

Field Name :- Backout Options 

Below are options to be displayed 

Tested Backout - (This specific change has been implement in NonProd or Prod and backed out successfully )
Untested Backout - (Back Out procedure is documented and available but has not been tested)

Hi @nameisnani ,

FYI > You cannot set dynamic help text directly

Instead you can make use of the below onchange client scipt to show or hide field message. (based on your condition you can change the script below )

if(newValue == 'tested_backout' ) {
g_form.ShowFieldMessage('backout_option', 'your text', info);

} else if (newValue == 'untested_backout'){
g_form.ShowFieldMessage('backout_option', 'your text', info);
} else if (newValue == 'no back out'){
g_form.ShowFieldMessage('backout_option', 'your text', info);
}
