# label tooltips not working

Asked by jesnw on 2016-10-28

Hello, 
when I add tooltips to my survey within the code list, they work fine except that the "this field is required"-tooltip is hiding my own tooltips. 
However, I can also add tooltips for my labels in the schema. But in Collect Earth they wont show up. Is this an error?

Ok, in this case we might be able to add the tool-tips to the headers.

This functionality will come in the next version of Collect Survey Designer (as it is this product that generated the HTML of the Google Earth balloon) 

Thank you for the tip

Do you have an example or a screen capture of the problem?

The tooltips should show up when using the "Button" layout of the code attribute but not when using the dropdown menu. We could try to add this functionality if it is necessary.

Thanks!

The tooltips for the code attributes with the button-layout are fine. It is just that I want to add tooltips not for the attributes itself but for the header, under "Labels and Tooltip" in the schema. When I enter text there it does not show up in collect earth survey. (unfortunately I can not add images yet)
