title: Google Sheets customize data validation hover help text
body: <p>I'm working with a Google Sheet and running into issues with hover text for data validations. <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NYwZ_rT0ex-MsV_OIROrQfT_6YWRrBw0C6UssT7WV7A/edit?usp=sharing" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Here</a> is a demo spreadsheet which shows what I am doing.</p>
  <p>Essentially, I'm using data validations as a dropdown menu from a range. But, I only want want to show warnings on invalid data. I customized the help text of my warnings, currently set to <code>This is a custom help text message.</code> You can see this in the Data &gt; Data Validations menu. However, when you hover over any of the invalid inputs, all you get is <code>Invalid: Input must fall within specified range</code>. I want my custom text to show in the red hover section. Is there any way around this? Or is it just a Google Sheets glitch?</p>
