Hi everyone,


it looks like showing through a field’s help text in a table is not possible. Is that true?


Many thanks

There is no built-in way to display a field’s help text on a Table. But, you can use Global Merge Syntax to access fields help text. Then, display it as part of the column label


e.g.
{{$Model.modelName.fieldsMap.fieldName.inlineHelpText}}


You could make this look pretty by enabling “Allow HTML in column header labels” under the Table’s Display > Columns property.


Thank you Sam…small problem… I can see anything called ‘Allow HTML in column header labels’. I think the version I’m working with is before this was put in place.


Ah yes, I believe that is a new feature. Would have to update to use that, but merge syntax should still work (Just won’t look as pretty).
