How to implement Tooltip on Form's Field?

Hi,

I am unable to implement tooltip (Mouseover) functionality on Form's field.

I have tried with Tooltip and help text property option on itemType but it is not working. Below is the screenshot

Tooltip option is not showing on field 

Can someone please help me?

    Which Innovator version do you use? In older Innovator versions (I12) the HelpText and Tooltips doesn´t work yet but you can add them manually via an onLoad Method.

      Hi Angela,
      We're on Release 20 and I don't think it works straight away which was unexpected.
      Going from the Aras-Innovator-2024-Release-Release-Notes.pdf we need to upgrade to Release 2024 (I guess Release 33 or so).

        Yes, I think it was around this version when tooltips were added. You can try this community project but it´s a bit dated: https://github.com/ProcessPLM/Aras-Mouse-Over-Help

        Personally I just would solve it with a simply onLoad Method before starting a big upgrade project just for this specific feature.

        This is all you need:

        const y = getFieldByName("item_number");
        y.title = "Useful info";

    I think the tooltips were introduced in Release 26.

    Of course I agree that the latest official solution is much better in all aspects. Aras did everything right with this one. 
    But from my very personal POV you are all spoiled! The "onLoad" tooltip solution was sufficient for GENERATIONS of Innovator users. [emoticon:0f36700dfeb3494fa10d47dd9e1f90a1]

     Kirtika_Kavya1 Personally I wouldn´t spent much time using the legacy community project. I assume you have a subscription and upgrade on regular basis. If you now start with this project, you will later have to disintegrate it again. Sometimes it´s much more economic to wait.
