Modify "tooltips" in field manager

[rinorway]

When adding / editing a field of an entity, it would be nice to have the "tooltip" option available as well.

You can add a tooltip manually . Suppose we have entity Xx, field "name"

First should add the tooltip option in the definition.


/custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/metadata/entityDefs/Xx.json

{
"fields": {
"name": {
"type": "varchar",
"required": true,
"tooltip": true,
"trim": false,
"audited": false
},

Then, add the tooltip string in the I8n file :
/custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/i18n/en_US/Xx.json

{
"labels": {
"Create Xx": "Create Xx"
},
"tooltips": {
"name": "Fill in the full name for this thing"
},
"fields": {
"name": "Name"
}
}

Good idea.

A tooltip per panel or some customisable inline help per entity or panel might be helpful as well (although might be more work) , because users generally do not read procedural handbook

How much work would that be to have the tooltips available in the fieldmanager? It would really make the job so much easier to describe fields... Thank you for v 4.2.1

It's planned. There are some obstacles we need to overcome.

[rinorway]

Really nice and very much appreciated!

[rinorway]

any indication in which version this might appear? Thank you.
