Posted on by JeroenJanssens

When you move the cursor over a lookup field icon, text appears. I want to change this text. Since the text is in Dutch, there might be a translation that I can adjust? Or is there any way to overrule this?

That text is taking the default language of your Portal, but in case you have multi language setup, you should see the translated text.

I was just playing around with a few things here but there doesn't seem to have any configuration available to change the text.

Two things here:

You can raise a support ticket with Microsoft, but I don't think that would be a simple option to be added

As a workaround, you can add JavaScript to set the text you want (pro-tip: keep the label in a content snippet, so just one code and this will pick the snippet for the language selected)

I was just playing around here and got a good solution

Create the snippet:

I created a generic function for this:

function SetLookupLaunchTooltip(fieldname, tooltip) { if (!!!tooltip) { tooltip = "{{ snippets['Default Lookup Launch Tooltip']}}"; } var lookupLunchButton = $("#" + fieldname + "_entityname").next().find("button.launchentitylookup"); lookupLunchButton.attr("data-original-title", tooltip); lookupLunchButton.attr("aria-label", tooltip); lookupLunchButton.find("span.sr-only").text(tooltip); };

You can use it like this:

SetLookupLaunchTooltip("cr285_customerlookup"); // or SetLookupLaunchTooltip("cr285_customerlookup","hello world");

If you want, you can probably apply this to any lookup on the page by adding the code to the Tracking Code snippet.

Thanks. I understand what this function does and I have added all this but it still shows the original value. If I look at the html code, the tooltip is not on the field but on the button. Maybe that's the reason it's not working?

I had made a small mistake (adding _name to the fieldname parameter). The function now does part of the job: aria-label and sr-only are adjusted but the data-original-title is not?

it seems that while the lookup is empty, the tooltip is held at a "title" attribute, and not "data-original-title"

give it a go adding also the attribute "title", for example:

lookupLunchButton.attr("data-original-title", tooltip); lookupLunchButton.attr("title", tooltip);
