Does anyone know the reason why the Mid-Tier is unable to support the
$FIELDHELP$ keyword? The help on this keyword states that "Web applications
do not support the $FIELDHELP$ keyword; it returns NULL."

 

Any reason why this would have been hard to implement on the Mid-Tier?

 

I was hoping to use it on a very small form wherein I could set $FIELDHELP$
to a temp display only field on every gain focus action of a field,
displaying the help of that field in that display only field. Works like a
charm on the User tool, however it does not on the Mid-Tier because of this
said limitation of the said keyword.

 

With the impending slow death of the thick client, it would have been nice
to have features such as this available at the Mid-Tier level as well.

 

If you ask me this feature would have been more useful on the web for
intuitive field help for a end user, than it is on a native thick client..
