How to display a message above the catalog variable similar to form's annotation info box Red/Blue

[learn nv]

Hi All,

Can we display a message above the catalog variable similar to form's annotation info box Red/Blue(Eg: Annotation message above the planned start date in schedule section of change request )

Hello @learn nv 

Unfortunately not....As we don't have annotation for catalog item

But you can use 'Rich text label' type variable and hide/show based on your requirement.

Hi @learn nv 

We can add only 

or as suggested by @Vishal Birajdar  use Rich Text.

Hi @learn nv,

The g_form API is available on catalog items. 

Simply use the same syntax as you would for native forms such as as on the incident table. Example below:

g_form.showFieldMsg('name_of_the_variable_to_display_under','Text to display', 'info');

Screenshot below to demonstrate.

If you want the message to appear red, change the last parameter of 'info' to 'error' in the g_form call.
