Business value
When adding actions running pages and reports in AL, developers can specify AboutText and AboutTitle properties. To ensure consistency and reuse, such actions now default to the AboutText and AboutTitle of the targeted report or page object when shown in the Report Explorer. This also ensures that existing actions will benefit from AboutText and AboutTitle being defined on the targeted object. Similarly, on pages, actions to reports will default to the Tooltip on the target report.
Feature details
Actions that have the RunObject property specified, and refer to a page or report, will use the AboutText and AboutTitle properties of the targeted page or report application object in the Report Explorer, if none of these properties is specified on the action itself. This ensures consistency and reuse in the Report Explorer, even for existing actions, while at the same time allowing overriding of those values by specifically setting them on the action itself.
Also, on pages, actions that refer to reports will default to the "Tooltip" defined on the target report. In support of this, the ToolTip property has also been added to reports.
