Putting "guidance" text in text fields

[Former Community Member]

Hi,

I would like to have an option where there is some help text in all fields that users are expected to fill in, such as "text fields" and "Drop down menus".

The type of help text that is visible in the field, until you start typing something into it.

BTW, I'm a week into using Livecycle designer, I learned a lot but this function eludes me, does it even exist?

Thanks

You probably want to use the ToolTip option in the Accessibility Palette.

Yes I know of that fonction, I guess it could work but not really what I wanted, not obvious enough for my users...

Thanks

I think this is exactly what you're looking for.
