  Hi

  You need to export the form xml and then update the form xml. The tag you are looking for is

  <ToolTip>

       <Titles />

  </ToolTip>

  For more reference please see the SDK: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg334365

  and also : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg309605.aspx and specifically: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg327975.aspx

  Thanks and Regards

  Hi

   

  I just realised that you want a dynamic way of changing the tooltip.

  using title is an unsupported way of dynamically changing the tooltip. crmForm.all.<field name>_c.title or crmForm.all.<field name>_d.title is not valid in CRM2011 and the SDK doesn't seem to have any replacement for title.

   

  Please see this thread for an alternate hack, that might just work in CRM2011. Please see the post marked as answer.

  Actually, I discovered that the code used in CRM 4.0 also works in CRM 2011, despite all the changes to the SDK. Here's a sample that we've implemented:

  // Tooltips for picklist/option set values
  crmForm.all.<attribute>.childNodes[1].title = 'Option1 Text';
  crmForm.all.<attribute>.childNodes[2].title = 'Option2 Text';
  crmForm.all.<attribute>.childNodes[3].title = 'Option3 Text';

  
  // Tooltips for attribute/value labels
  crmForm.all.<attribute>_c.title = "Enter the tooltip text here.";
