Unable to render the instructions in Constellation 25.2 version after upgrading
Currently we migrated from pega 24.x to 25.2. Where we have encountered few issues w.r.t constellation, like instructions are not getting rendered directly. We need to add a component along with instructions. Earlier we are not used any control to render the instructions.
Could you please suggest.

@Naga Malleswara Rao You’re right, from 25.2 the old “inline instructions” you configured on the view/field are not rendered automatically in Constellation anymore, so just setting text in the Instructions field is not enough. The new approach is to explicitly drop a Text / Rich text (or “Instructions”) component into the view and bind or type your help text there. For field-level hints, use the helper/label/description options on the component instead of relying on legacy section instructions. So the fix is: open the view in Constellation, add a Text/Instructions component where you want the message, configure the text, save and check in. If you need dynamic content, you can still reference properties or a paragraph rule inside that component. After this change, your instructions will render again in 25.2 as expected.

Hi @Sairohith, eagerly waiting for your reply :). I have tried this option too but the thing is, when we use text component, we need to set the value to that property in pre DT and also label is mandatory. Hence both are coming. If I set the required instruction value as label but the property value is rendering as -- if I didn't set.
Is there any property as label. In normal UI kit applications we have.
Please refer the attachment.

@Naga Malleswara Rao In Constellation 25.2 the old step / case “Instructions” are not rendered automatically, so you now need to show them with a Text (paragraph) component in the view. Configure that field with Label = None so only the instruction text is displayed and no extra label appears. Put your message in the value of the property (or reference a Paragraph rule) and set the field to Read-only so users cannot edit it. The -- you see is just the empty property value; once you populate the value (or use a static, unmapped text field) that placeholder disappears. There is no separate “label property” like in UI Kit – label is only a caption. So the recommended pattern in 25.2 is: add a read-only Text/Paragraph field, set Label = None, and keep your instructions in the field value or a Paragraph rule instead of relying on the old automatic instructions behavior.

@SairohithThank you.
In 25.1.1 we don't have an option to ignore the label. Label is a mandatory and it is eight default or Custom.
And one more doubt, can we add any visibility conditions on row level(Constellation) either in 24.x or 25.x?
We need to disable the corresponding rows after selection.
Please suggest if any way to achieve this.
Thanks,
Naga
