This post is part of the New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2024 Wave 1 series in which I am taking a look at the new functionality introduced in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2024 Wave 1.
The 10th of the new functionality in the Development section is Define tooltips on table fields.
Developers can now define tooltips on the table level. Any page that uses the field will now inherit the tooltip, making reuse much easier in apps and extensions.
Enabled for: Users by admins, makers, or analysts
Public Preview: Apr 1, 2024
General Availability: Apr 2, 2024
Feature Details
Prior to this release, a developer who needed a tooltip to appear on a field—for example, shown on a card and also on a list page—would need to duplicate the tooltip in those two page objects.
With this release, developers can just define the tooltip on the table level and all pages that show the field will automatically have the tooltip available. On a page, it’s possible to override a tooltip defined on the table level by specifying it at the page level.
The AL Language extension for Visual Studio Code now also comes with code actions that can move tooltips down from a page to the source table underneath.
My Opinion
This sounds like it could be a good time saving enhancement when creating tooltips.
