Option to toggle field description to display underneath entity field/context view names

1

I try (with varying degrees of success) to use an Entity’s layout to facilitate focused discussions in meetings. I start the meeting with all the fields collapsed and then use the quick expand/collapse feature to go through them one by one, almost like you would with slides in a presentation deck.

It’s a little awkward and clunky, which is why I’m a big advocate for entity layouts becoming flexible custom dashboards instead of being so linear/restrictive, but I make do.

However, I often wish I could provide a little context on the field/view/topic I’m presenting without always having to verbally explain it. Just like in a digital presentation where you might have the main title or header of a slide and a smaller sub-header/description below it, I wish I could display the Name of a field and then toggle the description of that field to be visually displayed below it.

I would currently have to do this with 2 separate fields with different names, which is very inefficient and confusing:

Client-Fibery-12-05-2025_11_47_AM2603×1343 150 KB

When ideally I could just use the existing description metadata on the field and click the (?) icon to expand the description below it:

Client-Fibery-12-05-2025_11_47_AM2
Client-Fibery-12-05-2025_11_47_AM22603×1343 145 KB

If I moused over the icon, but didn’t click it, it could still display the description in the popup as it does now.

This functionality already exists in Fibery for views in their “full screen” form. I’m just requesting it be replicated for any views and fields being displayed inside of an entity:

List-Fibery-12-05-2025_11_53_AM
List-Fibery-12-05-2025_11_53_AM1356×285 33.9 KB

Not sure if the foillowng is helpful for you, but

For adding information about a field or information that should appear on every entity of one (or several) entities, create a lookup field to a rich text field of a parent entity.

For example, have a database “DB” that has one entity for each fibery database. That i use for fields that should appear on every child entity.

e.g. I have database Meeting which links to parent database DB entity “Meeting” which again has a rich text field “About Meetings”

Even better, the database DB also relates to database “Support” with entities that have a rich text field Body, which contains the info you want to appear on all Meeting entities.

In the latter case, use a double lookup, one to DB Support and one from Support to Body

This does not provide the toggle effect yet

Another option if you have a more flat structure is to add a text formula field with the description you need. That just returns the helper text.
