Dataverse table column description not showing on form

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 90

The column description for a dataverse column is not displaying when a user hovers over a form field.


I have added a description to a table column in the dataverse (img 1 below).
I save this change.
I then updated all forms, and created a new form containing this field.
Still when i hover over the field it only shows the field name, not description.
Can anyone advise what the issue is here?

    Hi @winston_smyth,

     

    are you displaying the form on a power page?

    If so you can use the id of your filed and add the tooltip as you need using js and maybe css depending on your needs.

    Have a look here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19480010/adding-a-tooltip-to-an-input-box.
