after looking into trying to update the element html with a client script, decided to try adjusting the dictionary on the tooltip field with a bumped up character limit like 200.

it worked like a charm!  🙂

@JamenW there are ways to do 

 

1. Use a UI Policy with an Info Message

 

Instead of relying on the tooltip, you can display a longer message using a UI Policy with an Info Message:

Create a UI Policy on the form.

Set the condition based on when the tooltip should appear.

Add an Action to display a message (g_form.addInfoMessage('Your longer message here');).

 

2. Use a Client Script to Show a Longer Tooltip

 

You can override the tooltip using JavaScript in a Client Script:

 

g_form.getElement('your_field_name').title = "Your longer tooltip message here";

tried the client script with no luck.
I see the html tooltip tag is "data-original-title" where the text is in the html output.
