I created a script tool that takes select dimensions from n+1 .kml files and generates a fairly simple point feature class.* Everything functions as intended, but I am unable to figure out how to add content to the tooltips for each field (no descriptive text appears when a user hovers over the "i" next to a field):
For what it's worth, I am using 3.2.
- Can this be done in the script itself? If so, what's the play?
- If this is to be done through the user interface, where do I go? I can't find anything in parameters, and I don't see anything field specific when I right click the script to edit the meta data.
- Another method?
Thanks for your time!
*tool allows you to transform .kml exports from adsbexchange into a 2d point layer. Retains n-number, timestamp, and altitude as contextual fields while only symbolizing the point with latitude and longitude.

The tooltips are set through the script's metadata (right-click, edit metadata).
I think there's an Idea floating around to let us do that stuff from within the tool itself (at least with Python Toolboxes) but I'm not sure where it is.

Hey - thanks for your response. Unfortunately Syntax is not available for me when I edit my script's metadata.
Can you confirm for me which metadata style you have selected (Options -> Metadata -> Metadata Style)? I'm hoping this might do the trick, but I have tried all of those available to me (screenshot), but none have the option in the screenshot you posts.
