Help buttons for my entry form fields

[LurkingKiwi]

I would like to have help buttons next to some of my form fields, preferably like the ones in the Form configurator. I have more information to display than fits tidily in the Tooltip, and I don't want it always vsible like a Hint.

I am initially thinking of adding a custom button next to the file, with ? as the text, and from the function called from that button, further calling the JavaScript function show_admin_help with the necessary HTML.
Is there any reason why this wouldn't work?

I may look at editing the form PHP to try to make ? buttons instead of displaying the hint.

Thanks, Len.

Hello,
I wouldn't rely on using show_admin_help, using it as custom button is not the intended purpose, the code of the function might change in the future and that would break your code.

Best,
