Posted on by Malasri

I am having a case view entity list. In the case record there is a description field. In the view column Issue Summary single line of text field appears in the list. So when we hover on the Issue summary text, need to show the popup with description field value.

On hover of this field, I need to retrieve description value and show.

Hi, I can think of two options of achieving this, both require JS:

Retrieve the description via API/Fetch, and inject the value as tooltip in the summary field (it can slow down the page) - you can see API documentation for more info: Portals read operations using the Web API - Power Apps | Microsoft Docs

Add the description as a new column, and hide it via JS, then use it to inject as tooltip into the summary field (better performance, but just for a millisecond, the users might see the description field in the view) - I wrote an article a while ago on how to hide a list column: Power Apps Portals – JavaScript Tip #01 – Hide & Show Elements – Oliver Rodrigues (oliverrodrigues365.com)

regardless of how you get the value, you will need JS to inject it to the summary column, I have a list with Accounts and will write a simple example retrieving the "Phone" field, and inject as tooltip into the primary contact:

$(document).ready(function(){ SetTooltip(); }); SetTooltip = function () { var list = $(".entitylist.entity-grid").eq(0); list.on("loaded", function () { list.find("table tbody > tr").each(function (index, tr) { var tooltipText = $(tr).find("td[data-attribute=telephone1]").text() $(tr).find("td[data-attribute=primarycontactid]").attr("title",tooltipText) }); }); };

If we are multiple views, Hiding column and setting tooltip is working in default view. what to be done for other views.

hi @Malasri I just did a test myself and it worked for both views. Can you share your code + snapshots?
