Tooltips on Table Extensions not displayed in client

[PeterConijn]

Please include the following with each issue:

1. Describe the bug This bug might be related to #7778. If you place a tooltip on a table extension, it does not show in the client when hovering over the field.

2. To Reproduce

1. Create a table extension with a new field
2. Add a caption and tooltip on the table extension
3. Create a page extension for showing the new field, but do not place a tooltip on the page extension
4. Publish your app and navigate to the page you extended
5. Hover your cursor over the field you added
6. Spend 0.3 seconds in anticipation of the tooltip popping up
7. Note that the caption is displayed in the tooltip balloon, but not the tooltip

tableextension 50324 Vendor extends Vendor
{
    fields
    {
        field(50320; "Name 3"; Text[50])
        {
            Caption = 'Name 3';
            ToolTip = 'Specifies the third name of the vendor.';
            DataClassification = CustomerContent;
        }
    }
}


pageextension 50321 "Vendor Card" extends "Vendor Card"
{
    layout
    {
        addafter("Name 2")
        {
            field("Name 3"; Rec."Name 3")
            {
                ApplicationArea = All;
            }
        }
    }
}

Note: Because the developers need to copy and paste the code snippet, including a code snippet as a media file (i.e. .gif) is not sufficient.

3. Expected behavior I would expect the tooltip to show

4. Actual behavior The tooltip is not showing

We run into the same issue as PeterConijn

[navdotnetreqs]

Ran into same issue. Tooltips defined on new custom fields in table extension do not show up in client. If I put the tooltips on the PAGE extension, they work.

[artemanpilogov]

We encounter the same problem, but it occurs only in the OnPrem environment. Everything functions correctly in the cloud.

I have the same problem with SaaS (25.2) , not just on-prem

[PeterConijn]

This is still happening in 25.5. When is a fix expected?

[tharveysa]

Same issue on 25.1 on-prem with custom tables as well, not just extensions.

[timhartsci-net]

I've noticed this is fixed in the 26 release.

[morcadium]

This issue appears to be back. Version: US Business Central 26.3 (Platform 26.0.36171.0 + Application 26.3.36158.36486). Anyone else running into this?

[vgs-7]

This issue seems to be (partially) fixed in v26.3 cloud.

✅ Tooltips added on table extensions are showing correctly. ❌ Tooltips added on tables are not showing in the web client.

Version: BE Business Central 26.3 (Platform 26.0.36757.0 + Application 26.3.36158.37115)

Does anybody have a update for us?! Is it now fixed completly and maybe also fixed in older major versions? We found that problem also in version 25.7...

The tooltip defined on the table field appears only when the client language matches the translation provided. Tested in BC version 26.5. With BC 27.0, tooltips are visible in ENU and in translated languages. When a translation is missing, the tooltip is suppressed.
