Do not use line breaks in ToolTip (AC0016)

The Business Central user assistance model does not support formatting in ToolTips. Line breaks are not rendered and make the ToolTip harder to read. Keep ToolTips as a single, continuous sentence.

Line breaks in ToolTips can cause display issues and result in unpredictable rendering across different clients and contexts.

Example

The following field has a ToolTip with line breaks:

table 50100 MyTable
{
    fields
    {
        field(1; MyField; Integer)
        {
            ToolTip = 'Specifies the value.\This is a second line.'; // ToolTip text must not contain line breaks. [AC0016]
        }
    }
}

To fix this, remove the line break and keep the text as a single sentence:

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