[Feature]: Add a tooltip property to the following widgets

[dilippitchika]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Summary

Add a tooltip property similar to input widget to the following widgets

1. Select family - Select, Multi-select, tree-select, multi-tree-select
2. Datepicker

Why should this be worked on?

Helps our devs inform users with more details on the widget

Objective

• Allow developers to further inform the users about the choices about a widget

Changes needed

• Add a new property called "Tooltip" in the general section
• This property should be above the placeholder section for select widgets
• This property should be in the "General" section and the first property in that section
• Follow the same logic on displaying tooltips in the widget as it shows up on input widget

I would extend the tooltip feature to all/any widget requiring user input or action e.g. button.
This would save screen real estate by not displaying explicit instructions.

A little indicator in the corner of the widget would help tell the user there is something about it.

Do you have a similar feature request for table columns ? This can useful to guide users when entering or understanding the data.
If not, can you create one ?

@dilippitchika very interesting as I would be interested in a cell tooltip too ! I am coming from Power BI which is read-only hence why I am here 😀 and I use cell/value tooltips to provide further context like error code -> description or vendor Nr > vendor name (or other stats).

I think the features are different though:

• one is when hovering the column header: provide explanation/description/instructions on what the column contains
• another is when hovering over a cell to provide context. The tooltip should show the full value (current behavior) + extra custom text using JS (so one can refer to another hidden column or custom calc)

This is how PBI renders.

Note that the second could be a subset of a Table V3 bundle to make Tables behave like a spreadsheet - there is a huge demand for that: navigating cell to cell (arrows), copy/paste,...

Feel free to refer or copy my comments elsewhere as here may not be the best place.

Oh we have a different request for header tooltips - #16771
