Displaying the instructions in red color

Question

Hi guys, 
 I have requirement to display the instructions of a dropdown field in red color if the user selects some options in the dropdown. I recognized that in 17.2 by using rich text field we have an option with the style property as negative. But we are on 17.1. Is there any way to implement the same on 17.1?

Hi santoshd378 , 
 
Actually we also had the same requirement in v17.1 where we had to display the instructions of a drop down field in red color but unfortunately this is not possible in 17.1 we have to display that as validation message.

In 17.1 i don't think so it's possible to do what you want. You can use Validation based upon the business rules and display a message based upon your dropdown selection.

Hi, 
You can use the Validation for the particular "Dropdown" you are using. In that way the Validation Message will be displayed below the Component. Also, if you don't want to use a validation you can use an image which is displayed in different section and using save function you can set the value of boolean to true or false based on your dropdown selection. Then the hidden section can be displayed based upon the value set in the dropdown component.
