Hi, Is there an easy way to add tooltips the the backend form fields? Such as adding the data-toggle & title somehow in the fields.yaml? Thanks

You can specify custom attributes and containerAttributes. These are arrays that can hold arbitrary HTML attributes.

I suspected as much, what format do the attributes have to be in? I've tried attributes: data-toggle="tooltip" in a classic attempt at wishful thinking but no joy. Any chance of an example? Again many thanks.

For anyone else the answer turned out to be obvious once I RTFM :)

attributes: { data-toggle: "tooltip", title: "Some informative text" }
