I am pretty sure I have seen this but I don’t know what it is called so I cannot find it. I have a form that has some complicated directions. I want to be able to add directions and examples in the canvas. If I added them where it says instructions it messes up the format if add anything for than a line. A pop-up help option might also work. Thanks in advance. If you just know what the feature is called that is sufficient for me to find out how to do it.
Thanks!
Hey @Chris_DeAngelis , I think the feature’s called column descriptions. You add them from your source table in the column settings → “add a description”. Then just make sure your layout has the option selected to show column descriptions (down at the bottom of the right-hand side panel when editing a layout).
Thanks Andrew. I think that wasn’t what I wanted. I am trying to either have a little ? that someone clicks to read more. Or some grayed out light pre-filled text that disappears when someone writes. This is not a major issue for this point but some of my fields I want the user to fill out are complicated to get it rights so wanted to pre-populate some example without having it take up too much space. So more of a pop-up or hover over concept. Thank you for taking the time to respond.
going from what @Andrew_Farnsworth has advised… is the form below in “Notes”
what you are trying to achieve (you mentioned ? and pop-up or hover concept) ?
cheers!

Thanks @Andrew_Farnsworth @Melanie_Teh I finally figured it out. You have to enter the description but then also choose to unhide descriptions. I was missing both steps. Much appreciated
