I am trying to display the value in a formula text field either on a button click or on hover.

Hi Paul,
If you can get the value to display in a formula text or formula rich text field you could make a button which checks or unchecks a hidden checkbox field and then use form rules to have it hide or show based on a user checking/uncheck that checkbox. You could also just have the checkbox field be what the user interacts with. For example if you want a calculation to show up only when someone checks a "Form ready for submission" checkbox then you would just have the formula rich text field hidden until that checkbox gets checked. That way you don't have to use any non native features or javascript. You can potentially even set it up so the field only shows when values in a certain range are in the field if you want to remove the button step entirely.
