3515956 - Custom Tooltip in an Extension Field cannot be displayed

Symptom

An extension field with custom tooltip is added to the UI, but the custom tooltip cannot be displayed. Instead, the system displays the standard tooltip.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the UI screen where the extension field is added.
  2. Move the cursor to the extension field.
  3. Hold the cursor on the extension field.
  4. The system shows the standard tooltip instead of custom one.

Cause

This is the system designed behavior.

Resolution

This is the standard system behavior. If an extension field with custom tooltip is added to a table or any custom tooltip is maintained for table column fields, only the standard tooltip will display. The restriction is only for the table-level column fields. 

If any additional information needs to be populated in table, it is possible to give the text in the explanation button.
