ToolTip must end with a dot (AC0014)

End ToolTips with a dot to keep phrasing consistent and clearly separated from surrounding UI text. This follows the Business Central user assistance model and ensures a professional, polished appearance.

Consistent punctuation in ToolTips improves readability and makes the UI feel more cohesive.

Example

The following field has a ToolTip without a trailing dot:

table 50100 MyTable
{
    fields
    {
        field(1; MyField; Integer)
        {
            ToolTip = 'Specifies the value'; // ToolTip must end with a dot. [AC0014]
        }
    }
}

To fix this, add a dot at the end:

table 50100 MyTable
{
    fields
    {
        field(1; MyField; Integer)
        {
            ToolTip = 'Specifies the value.';
        }
    }
}
