Using Property Reference within Helper Text Constellation
Hi,
Greetings. Hope you are well! I am trying to use Property Reference in Helper Text for a field of type Picklist using dot notation, example .InstructionHeader and setting the value in Pre-DT.
However in runtime i can see ".InstructionHeader" instead of the value.
Does anyone know if we can use properties directly within Helper Text? I am on Pega 23.1.2
Tagging @RichardMarsot if you may have any suggestions.
Regards,
Bharat

Hi @SrinivasBharatK17344851,
Unfortunately, to my understanding helper text just works off of the helper text configuration value you specified in the authoring experience and does not consider data transforms for its runtime labeling. It's just a constant at this time. This said, there have been updates in future Pega versions that will help with this use-case.
In 24.1 we added the "Additional info" feature, where you can update the field in the Data Model to have rich-text anywhere the property is used at runtime. Here is the supported documentation link: https://docs.pega.com/bundle/platform/page/platform/data-integration/adding-help-icon-field.html.
In 24.2, we added the "Dynamic label" feature in which users can supply custom labels for their fields that leverage properties. Here is the supported documentation link: https://docs.pega.com/bundle/platform/page/platform/user-experience/common-field-settings-const.html.
Thanks,
Spencer
