How to hide Task table Hints in Demand table?

kuuum_aaaya · ‎07-01-2025

I want to hide Hints for some fields in the Demand table, but the default Hints from Task table (parent) are still showing up.

Is there a way to hide specific Hints in Demand table without removing them from Task table?

Note:

Need Hints to remain visible for other fields
Already tried clearing Hint values in Demand table
Can't modify Task table as it affects other tables
Any suggestions?

Hi @kuuum_aaaya ,

you might have to remove the hint on the task table.

or you can add a blank space

which looks like this

to add blank space copy it form here ‎->"‎ "

or use this site and click on "copy to clipboard" and past that space in the hint

https://www.editpad.org/tool/invisible-character

or run this script by replacing the sys_id with demand Japanese label sysid

var current = new GlideRecord("sys_documentation");
if (current.get("34186f97d7103200f2d224837e610393")){
    gs.info(current.getDisplayValue());
    current.hint =' '
    current.update()
}

Hi @kuuum_aaaya ,

open the dictionary record and create a seperate label for the demand table without hint

create a new label with element same as the column label and Label just remove the hint

Thank you for your response. I tested the solution, but I found that the Hints are still displaying when the system language is set to Japanese (ja). Could you please advise if there's a different approach for Japanese language settings?

Hi @kuuum_aaaya ,

do the same thing with Japanese language record

go to the dictionary and labels and check if there any record for Japanese and remove the hint for Japanese label record. if there no record create a new one with demand table with language as Japanese and do not add the hint

@kuuum_aaaya

there could be separate field label created for japanese.

Ensure hint is removed from that as well.
