Business value
When label variables are used in AL code, only the label name is shown inline in the source code. To understand what the value of the label is, the developer has had to navigate to the label definition or use Peek Definition. In this release we add the ability to just hover over the label variable and instantly see the text string value in the tooltip inline, thereby avoiding switching context to see the value.
