Dear all,

is it possible to display the field type in the form view?

e.g. you dont see if this field is a single line text, look up or option set field:

I would like to see always the "mouse hover" frame e.g.:

Many thanks in advance.

RE: Display always the field type

Gil,

thanks for you answer. But it does not help because for the user it does not matter if he makes a mouse hover over the label or field. If he makes a mouse hover over the field than he also sees the field type.

I would like to see the field type frame always without mouse hover and for every field.

Hi Partner,

Apart from adding a description for a specific field, Unfortunately there is no other way that you can add a field type in form view through OOB method.

Hi ,

As mentioned earlier there is no supported way to do that. Instead doing any unsupported way or wasting time the best way to trained user accordingly. I think the way currently Dynamics display the field type is very well understandable by any user For example -

Single Line Text -

Lookup -

Option Set -

Date -

Yes I understand there is some confusion with Whole Number , Decimal or text field. For that you can put the field type inside bracket with label or put description which is the better and clean way to fulfill your requirement.
