Dastagiri Dudekula Is your intention to display instructions for a field that's being used in the Editable Grid? Then I believe, 'helpTooltip' attribute of a!gridLayoutHeaderCell() is the only way to do so as the 'instructions' attribute of the components used inside an Editable Grid doesn't render.

You cannot put instructions under a component in an editable grid. You can put a "helptooltip" in the a!gridLayoutHeaderCell() expression within the a!gridLayout() expression.

That is not possible with the current available configurations. Suggestions could be a link to a help document in the instructions of the grid field

For your use case I think that the solution would be a text field under the grid with that information. I would have to experiment with the different form components to see which would look the best.

Margaret Haymann I checked with both the text field and the paragraph field. Let me know if any components that fulfills the requirement. Thanks in advance.

We can use helptooltip for message, As per my knowledge we can't show instructions for a component under editable grid
