Hi everyone,

I’ve run into an issue with tooltips in Perspective Form and wanted to check if I’m missing something in my configuration or if this is a known limitation.

I currently have a Perspective form displayed inside a popup. On this form, I’m using tooltip, but it is rendering behind the popup instead of on top of it.

From what I can tell, it seems like a z-index or stacking context issue, but I’m not sure how Perspective handles layering for popups vs. tooltips internally.

Has anyone experienced this before?

- Is there a way to force the tooltip to render above the popup?
- Or is there a recommended workaround

Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!

You can set your own custom prop for `z-index` on the tooltip that will override the default. It should be named `zIndex` (see image below).

Does this apply to pretty much any css property?

No, CSS properties should be added under the `style` property. Ideally, `zIndex` should be added there as well in order to overwrite the default. However, there is a bug in that scenario that I’ll be logging. The solution above is a workaround to this bug.
