@ManKa -

You can leverage the Tooltip property for most controls, but I personally find these useless as the text is too small to be legible and apps should be as accessible as possible.

As an alternative:

1. Insert an Icon control next to the field in question. For example an Information icon.

2. On the OnSelect property of the information Icon, enter:

UpdateContext({ctx_info_pop_up: !ctx_info_pop_up});
UpdateContext({ctx_info_text: "Here is some information about this field."})

3. Create a Container control

4. Insert a Label control or a HTML text control inside the Container

5. On Text or HTML property, enter:

ctx_info_text

6. On the Visible property of the container, enter:

ctx_info_pop_up

7. Duplicate the Information Icon. On the OnSelect property, enter different text. E.g.:

UpdateContext({ctx_info_pop_up: !ctx_info_pop_up});
UpdateContext({ctx_info_text: "Different information about this field."})

Note however that if you apply the above Solution to a DataCard in an EditForm, the Icons will not be clickable if the Form is in View Mode.
