Add Help Text to Fields on Cards

You now have the ability for an admin, through point and click, to set help text for fields within a field set form card type on Community Hub. Administrators can add informational help text that can be viewed when hovering over a specific field.

Help text mapping is stored as JSON, with key-value pairs mapping the field's API name to the custom label API name to use. `

{ "FieldAPIName__c": "CustomLabelAPIName" }

Also, please note that the Help Text Mapping Field is limited to 255 characters. If you wish to use more than 255 characters you should separate fields onto multiple Field Set Form cards. 


Help Text Below

  1. Set the Help Text Mapping to map one field.
    {"FirstName": "AccountExistsContactOffice"}

       2. Leave the Position Help Text Above box unchecked

       3. Go to the page in Community Hub.

       4. Help text appears only under the field you set in the map.

       5. You will need to navigate within Community Hub Setup to the card on which the Custom Labels are used and ensure that the Card Layout picklist does not have “Allow In Place Editing” selected.
