KB Summary by Now Assist

Issue

Users may want to hide or remove the suggestion (lightbulb) icon that appears on certain form fields.

Example of the lightbulb icon on the Change Request form

Facts

  • Direct DOM manipulation to remove the icon is possible but not recommended, as it is beyond the scope of support.
  • An alternative approach is to create a new field for the Short Description without the suggestion icon.

Resolution

  1. Access the Form:
    • Navigate to the form or record where the suggestion icon appears.
  2. Configure the Field:
    • Right-click on the field with the suggestion icon (e.g., Short Description).
    • Select "Configure Dictionary" from the context menu.
  3. Modify Choice List Settings:
    • In the Dictionary configuration, locate the "Choice List" option.
    • Set the "Drop Down" value to "None."
  4. Save Changes:
    • Save the configuration to apply the changes.

By following these steps, the suggestion (lightbulb) icon will be hidden or removed from the specified field on the form.
