The new Messagebox component for Unity UX provides a consistent, design-aligned way to display banners and callouts on forms, replacing the legacy displayfields approach.

Here's how to use the Messagebox component on a form:

1. Navigate to the Forms Builder and open a form. 

    

1. Click the "Create Field" button. 

   

    

2. Select "Messagebox" in the "Data Type" drop-down menu.

   

   1. On the Messagebox screen, you can fill out the:
      • System Name
      • System Label
      • Description
      • Message Type: You can choose from five message types, each with specific color coding and behavior:

      Message Type	Color	Icon	Best Use Case
      Informational	Blue	Yes	General updates or neutral information.
      Success	Green	Yes	Confirming a completed action or positive state.
      Warning	Yellow	No	Alerts that require caution but aren't blockers.
      Error	Red	Yes	Critical issues, validation failures, or blockers.
      Help Text	Neutral	No	Supplemental guidance.
