Salesforce Fact #617 | Fetching field help text
While trying to fetch the field help text using SOQL on FieldDefinition object, we get the below error: No such column 'inlinehelptext' on entity 'FieldDefinition'. So, to get the help text we can use the getDescribe() call in the format: SobjectApiName.FieldApiName.getDescribe().getInlineHelpText(). For example, Account.AccountSource.getDescribe().getInlineHelpText();
