How to get plain text annotation (not info-box blue)

[Community Alums]

Hello,

Looking at the docs for annotations here: https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/newyork-platform-administration/page/administer/form-administrati...

It looks like the "Text" option is just the same as "Info box blue."  It has an example for how to change the text color, but not how to remove the blue background.  Changing the background-color in the html only changes the background of the text, not the annotation itself.

Also, is there a best practice to align the text?  It appears to be centered but I thought I would ask the community.  The bigger issue is the background color.

Hi @Dustin Watkins !

It appears that this is unfortunately not possible at this time.

Take a look at this related post:

Hope that helps!

Hey there.  Thanks for the response! 

I found this old documentation that also has screenshots, and it looks like there are actually two options that would satisfy our requirement (Text or Section Details) but both are showing up with a blue background for some reason.

try using HTML as type

<span style="color:red;background-color:transparent;">Select the primary location:</span>

Thank you Mike, but that did not change the background of the annotation, only the background of the text.
