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).

    Hi, on top of that, we can use the Popover API to create custom popovers that show content from our Ninox database in the way I suggest in the Dashboard_v11_1.
