How to show message in backend when user choose a certain field value

[Gideon So]

Hi, 

I have a field (page reference field) that allows user to choose news category. I want to show some message if the user choose certain category as a reminder. 

How can I do that?

Hi @kixe,

Thanks for your suggestion but I am not looking for logging. I need to show some message in the backend while a user edit a page.

@Gideon So the way that i have handled this in the past was to use an extended version of the select, which adds a data-description atttribute to the selectable items. Once you have that attribute (which would get it's value from a data-description field), then you can use jQuery to replace the description with the new value, once it is selected.

these topics may be of help:

@Macrura Last link points to a forum which is not public. I wonder if you can provide more info for the rest of us.
