"Add Multiple Fields" adding extra stuff to the tooltip

[mjmatthiesen]

This is the same issue as present in #583. It looks to be resolved for using description as a tooltip, but not for tooltip or generic tooltips.

I can't reopen the issue, so I am refiling.

this issue is present via add multiple fields or also the page creation wizard.

table 76831 example
{
    Caption = 'example';
    DataClassification = CustomerContent;

    fields
    {
        field(1; "has description"; Integer)
        {
            Caption = 'has description';
            Description = 'this is the tooltip via description';
        }
        field(2; "has tooltip"; Integer)
        {
            Caption = 'has tooltip';
            ToolTip = 'this is the tooltip property';
        }
        field(3; "has neither"; Integer)
        {
            Caption = 'has neither';
        }
    }
    keys
    {
        key(PK; "has description"){Clustered = true;}
    }
}

results in

page 76832 example
{
    Caption = 'example';
    PageType = Card;
    SourceTable = example;
    ApplicationArea = All;

    layout
    {
        area(Content)
        {
            group(General)
            {
                Caption = 'General';

                field("has description"; Rec."has description")
                {
                    ToolTip = 'this is the tooltip via description';
                }
                field("has tooltip"; Rec."has tooltip")
                {
                    ToolTip = 'Specifies the value of the has tooltip field.', Comment = '%';
                }
                field("has neither"; Rec."has neither")
                {
                    ToolTip = 'Specifies the value of the has neither field.', Comment = '%';
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

We have this issue, too.
And I see several PR where developers forget to delete this nonsense comment.

Seems like this is caused by a wrong default setting:

"alOutline.pageFieldToolTipComment": "%%Caption.Comment%"

if you change it to an empty string you will no longer get the "Comment = '%' part for your tooltips.

"alOutline.pageFieldToolTipComment": ""

Thanks this helped.
Alternatively setting it back to %Caption.Comment% is working, too.

I don't know the reason why the additional % was added here:
