Adding Help Text to a Custom Field

JT4

I am attempting to add help text to a custom field. I have added the following to the field description:

Report Path
<script type="text/javascript">
function showHelp() {
var listenersDiv = document.getElementById("rpFieldHelp");
if (listenersDiv.style.display == 'none') {
listenersDiv.style.display = '';
} else {
listenersDiv.style.display='none';
}
}
</script>
<a href="#" onclick="showHelp(); return false;"><img src="/images/icons/ico_help.png"/></a>
<div id="rpFieldHelp" style="display:none">
Incomplete information in this field may delay resolution of this request.
</div>

The words Report Path are displayed but the help icon and help text are not being displayed. Am I missing something? We are JIRA v6.0.7.

Are you modifying the field description under field configurations? If not, try that.

You can verify by changing the text "Report Path" and by checking if the change is reflected or not!
