Adding Image or Formatted Text to the 'Help Text' field on a Catalog Variable

Eluther

On a Catalog Variable you can display a help tag and corresponding help text that the person can view for 'More Information' on the Catalog Item form. Currently this appears to just be a plain text field....is there a way to add formatted text or even an image to this field so when the person clicks the 'More Information' link the image or formatted text will appear?

Yes, you can create More Information tag where xyz.do is a UI Page, where you can put your text.



Hope this helps !!

You need to change the sys_property 'glide.ui.escape_text' to false.


Hi all,


Creating a UI page is a pain just for help text. I'm unable to change the property above. Is there another way?



Thanks-


Hi all,



you need elevated privileges (security_admin role) to change the property.


Afterwards you can use html tags in the help text content to format the text to your needs.



Best,


Stefan
