Display Text Tooltip when hovering on "i" button into multiple lines

Hi Community,

 

I am looking for some help on how we can break text tooltip into multiple lines. I tried using UNICHAR(10), UNICHAR(13) but nothing worked.

 

Example: 

Test Tooltip Measure= "Break alphabets into multiple lines" & UNICHAR(13) &"A"& UNICHAR(13)&"B"
 
When I add above measure to the tooltip on "I" Button Excepted Output should be:
Break alphabets into multiple lines

A

B

 

Instead I am seeing everything as a single text

Any help will be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

A

I think I managed to accomplish what you were trying, with a bit of a workaround.. but the outcome is smooth!

 

I have used the [U+200E] special character (which is a double invisible blank space).

 

See the result, and both the "clean" text in notepad and what it looks if you try to put it in a measure (I DID NOT use the measure, it's only to display what I put in the Action-->Tooltip-->Text

Hi all, I've just tested it and confirm that the issue remains: "tooltip" under "Action" section doesn't support multiline. If someone is interested, here is an alternative: you can use the help header icon and connect it to a tooltip page:

@apuchakayala , I tried UNICHAR(10) and it did work on pie visual tooltip

 

Test Tooltip Measure = "Break alphabets into multiple lines" & UNICHAR(10) &"A"& UNICHAR(13)&"B"

It works on the card visuals too, I have tried that earlier. But I wanted it as a tooltip on "i" button.

 

Thanks,
