Is there a way to display text on hover over some other field in layout?

[Konstantin_Trunin]

I want to display some text when mouse is over some field. Is it possible? E.g. I would display short version of Summary field and long will be displayed on mouse hover.

Dear @Konstantin_Trunin,

Like you and me more users find this a great idea / use-case, unfortunately it’s not (yet) available

Pls. have a look to this post, what offers a kind of work around, finally Coda is for makers, so you can build your own tools

Limit Displayed Characters

Dear @Jeff_Wright, Ongoing with the elegant solution of @Shane_Robinson, you can put this in a button to expand the full text when pushing it and you are able to make a very user-friendly interface if you like so to do. The nice part is that the buttons become self explanatory and you will be able to save a lot of space, remain focus on the subject and make it attractive to interact with your audience.

Hey @Konstantin_Trunin,

You can construct a tooltip using this trick or one of the simpler tricks referenced there:

Mega trick: Formatted tooltips for your table items (with JSON)

Here’s a pretty neat way to render tooltips. Unlike this solution it doesn’t require extra rows, and unlike @Filmos’ hyperlink hack it doesn’t rely on broken hyperlinks and is much richer. The idea: prepare a JSON object (text) with all the fields that you want to display in a tooltip render it with ParseJson(). [image] The first value in the JSON will be treated as a display value and will appear as cell text, while everything else will appear when you hover it with your mouse in a popup: …

Please note that this may inflate your doc size significantly: all the JSON code would need storage, and the object will need just as much storage as well.
