Long field's tooltip

Posted on by Pocia

Hello,

Is there any option to programatically change field's tooltip? I was asked to provide long text as a tooltip, but the limit is only 200 (via Description in Field's properties). Even while manually adding text to solution's XML, CRM is wrapping it, so you can see only first 200 characters.

Appreciate your help in the matter.

Hi,

There is no supported way to achieve this. If you really want, you can try the unsupported way of setting the tooltip using dom i.e.

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

Refer this-

I've already tried this method- doesn't work (on version 8.2). Nevertheless, thank you for the information!

Hi,

Can you try below script?

parent.window.document.getElementById("name_c").setAttribute("title","tooltip1111")

This is working for me on 8.2. I tried it on the account name field.

Hope this helps.

Did you place it onChange field event? I'm getting "cannot set "null" property of "setAttribute" error (I'm writing field name with _c)

There isn't anyway of doing this other than html using web resources . Please refer:

I put it on the form load as it needs to run before that.

Here is the screenshot-
