    Hi,

    You could try the following Javascript on the load of the form.

      window.parent.document.getElementById("fieldname_c").setAttribute("title","tooltiptext");

    Hope this helps.

    Hello

    how about use java script in load form

    To modify a field label tooltip (which I believe all field types have), use the following Javascript:

    document.getElementById("field_name_c").setAttribute("title", "tooltip text");

    To modify a lookup button tooltip (lookup fields have two tooltips, one for the label and one for the button, aka the magnifying glass), use the following Javascript:

    document.getElementById("field_name").setAttribute("title", "tooltip text");

    The "_c" appended to the end of the internal name of the field stands for "caption", and is therefore associated with the label HTML element of that field. In the case of lookup fields specifically which have the second additional tooltip, the exact internal name of the field matches the id of the lookup button HTML element.

    Thanks

    Hi

    You can also use SDK to read the metadata and update

    community.dynamics.com/.../update-entity-metadata-using-jscript-or-net-in-microsoft-dynamics-crm-2011-with-updateentityrequest

    There is no OOB method available for Bulk tooltip editing.

    You can try Translation option available OOB.

    1. Create a solution and add the entities.

    2. Export translation, for the solution

    3. Extract the files (unzip)

    4. You can edit CrmTranslations.xml in Excel (UnProtect it before editing), take a copy of the original file for comparision

    5. Zip the modified CrmTranslations.xml and [Content_Types].xml and import back to the same solution.

    If there is no matching description for any display name then copy that and insert a row and change the DisplayName to Description.

    Example:

    kc_testfield 1be03a6d-596e-465b-bddc-eab77a1a5149 DisplayName Test LU

    If there is no matching description line for the field, then insert a Description line with the same Entity name, Field GUID, "Description" and the tooltip description  

    kc_testfield 1be03a6d-596e-465b-bddc-eab77a1a5149 Description Test LU - modified 201704221326

    kc_testfield 1be03a6d-596e-465b-bddc-eab77a1a5149 DisplayName Test LU

    You may get validation error if you are inserting description node if you insert a description node for the matching display Name node, when there is no Description already there.

    ----------------

    There might be easier method to do bulk update using third party tools.

    Here is the place where you need to change the description, that will reflect in tooltip as soon as you publish all customization.

    Hi

    If you enter Description for the field, in the field properties

    Settings -> Customisation->Customize the System

    Select the Entity and within that select the field, Enter the description for the field.

    Please refer the following for more details:

    Anything added as field description will show as tooltip for the field in crm form. Select entity and field that you want to add tooltip. Enter description.
