Use Tooltip to echo contents of a field.

Probably for the JS/HTML/CSS geniuses Jacques TUR  :-).

I have formula field which fetches a note field contents from another table.  Because I have to keep the formula field as small as possible the note is not always fully visible (runs off the end of the field).

Since there is a tooltip I am wondering if it would be possible to 'engineer' it so that when the mouse hovers over the field the contents of the field is displayed in the tooltip.

    +1 for this missing and usefull feature. (the use of formulas in the tooltip setting)

    In the meantime while Jacques (or someone else) is looking for a CSS hack, you can use the 'On click' setting with this as formula:

    let p := text('Formula field');
alert(p)

    So when you click in the formula field an alert popsup with the content of your field.

      RoSoft_Steven It's good and simple solution 👍. In addition to, you can create a formula with a tooltip like this:

      html("<div class='cards-values' title = """ + Speech + """>" + Speech + "</div>")

      Here, Speech field contain the long text. The text is put in "div" section between <div> and </div>. the "title" attribute in div section define tool tip text (see JS sample here).
