Sense extension properties description

[#1]

Is it possible to have a text description for items within a section of the properties panel in a Qlik Sense visualization extension?

I have not come across anything like this in the Qlik Sense Developers Help, which states that custom properties may be of the following types:

• String
• Integer
• Number
• Check box
• Drop down
• Radio button
• Switch
• Slider
• Range-slider

Considering the absence of tooltips for individual items in the properties panel, I think it would be great to be able to provide a brief description of properties within a section:

Is there a way to accomplish anything like this?

Hi,

have a look at qliksense-extension-tutorial/06-Introduction-to-Using-Properties.md at master · stefanwalther/qlikse...

Hope this helps,

Thanks for replying, Stefan.  Your tutorial is a really great reference! 

However, l still cannot find anything that describes how to achieve what I am thinking.  I would like to have some text under a section header that describes the properties within the section – like a label that is not attached to any properties.  Here is a mockup of the idea:

I think it would be useful to have a "description" property for a section header in addition to the "label" property.

Thanks, Stefan.  I think it could provide extension users with a quick reference that could save the effort of having to refer to documentation all of the time.

Hi, sorry, don't get what you are suggesting.

Hi Stefan,

Sorry for the confusion.  I just meant that having a brief description for an extension's properties under a section heading might improve the user experience.  It would be easier for a new user to learn how to use an extension quickly if a few hints were provided in the accordion menu.
