How to Change the instruction annotation in record producer or catalog item dynamically

[Skydev22]

Hello everyone, I have a variable set that is used in multiple record producers, and I need to change the annotation/instructions of a variable in the variable set dynamically, depending on the record producer I’m in.

There isn't a consistent way to achieve what you are trying to do unfortunately. Depending on the variable type you could use the g_form.showFieldMsg(input, message, type, [scrollform]) method but you would need to test it. This would go in an onLoad script for the Record Producer where you could either perform logic to identify the correct message or hard code the message for that Record Producer.

Depending on how many variables you need to customize the instructions for you may be better off just copying the Variable Set and customizing it for each record producer.
