Annotation for each item under the select box

[ServiceNow Use6]

Hi,

Is it possible to display an annotation for each value under the dropdown in the select box of catalog item? if not, what is the alternative for me to show some text if I select a particular value? Kindly help.

You can use an onChange client script and g_form.showFieldMsg().

But there isn't a way to do it dynamically; you would have to script each value / message. 

I hope this helps!

Hi Michael,

The messages keep on stacking up on the top, how should I avoid it?

Can you post the script you are using? This is along the lines of what I would have expected: 

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
   if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
      return;
   }
	
	//just an example where my field is named group_action and my value is add
	if(newValue == 'add') {
		g_form.showFieldMsg('group_action', 'You have choosen add', 'info', false);
	}

   
}

I hope this helps!
