Tooltips on Jira Structure Field

[Leonard_Chew_bison-group_com]

Hey peeps

I have a question concerning Jira Structure:

Is it possible to set a tooltip on a wiki-markup field?

My Use Case: I have a Scriptrunner Scripted Field called "QCheck".

It is a multi-line Text Field, which basically tells you what you need to do on your issue (e.g. Due Date is not set, Original Estimate is not set, and so on).
In my Jira Structure, I have a Function Field "QCheck Flag", which contains a green star, if QCheck is empty (quality is good) and a yellow star, if QCheck is not empty (quality is bad).

At the moment, I display two seperate fields next to each other in my Jira Structure.
It works, but it is not nice (see screenshot).

What I'd like, is to have the content of the multiline text field "QCheck" to be the tooltip of the "QCheck Flag" field, so that the user can hover over the yellow star and get the instructions what to do.

Hello @Leonard_Chew_bison-group_com 

Tooltips can't be customized in Structure. What you can do here, is to adjust the Formula column and add more to the stars it displays. For example, you can use a formula like this:

if qcheck: concat("(*y)"," (quality is bad)") else "(*g)"

The format of the column should be set as Wiki Markup.

I hope this helps. If you need further assistance or if you have more questions about Structure, please reach out to us directly at our support portal.

Ah, as I didnt find anything in the documentation, I was already prepared for the answer, that it doesnt work.

The workaround is not an option, as the QCheck field can contain a lot of data.
Here is an example of a QCheck content if the quality of the issue is lacking (e.g. when many fields are not set correctly):

The idea would have been to have this as tooltip on the yellow star for better user experience, but I'll just keep it as a seperate field next to the star, where you have to actively click on the three dots to open the content.

Thanks anyway, for your fast reply!

Hi hi…

This is something I would need as well. Too bad this functionality is not there. 

Even a staticly defined tooltip would be great. It does not have to be dynamic and take the value from another field. 

@Stepan Kholodov _Tempo_ - do you perhaps know if there is any feature request for this in the backlog? If not, where can I create one? 😄

@Leonard_Chew_bison-group_com - if by any chance you find a solution, please add a comment here. Tnx a lot!
