I have make a menu like this :
screen1.PNG
screen1.PNG (23.12 KiB) Viewed 3511 times
-> Menu 1
--->Form View
description : xxxxxxxxxxx
--->Form View
description : xxxxxxxxxxx

I would like change the description for help users.

Example :
If the user is authorized to access file in read / write, I want this in the description:
You have all right on this program.

But if the user is not authorized or has a limited access, I want this :
You can not create and delete.

Actually there is just 3 properties for the system.menus.

But not a property to change the description.

Someone has an idea for do that?

There is currently no way to change that dynamically. You could define a duplicated read and write menu item pairs with appropriate descriptions and alter their visibility as required? A bit tedious to set up - but it should do the job. Also note that iPhone users and all Android users (phone or tablet) never see the extended descriptions - they are only displayed on iPads.

Thank you Mark, I was hoping there was a solution not too complicated to implement.
So I will not use description.
