These tooltips with direct documentation links on how to use the function in question are absolutely excellent.

Please build a “Tooltip Component” FOR US to use, so we can give our own users the same pristine UX as Glide is giving us. A simple text component, with a “I” or “?” at the end, that prompts a simple dialogue or pop screen that we can fill with deeper info.

I posted this here because no one seems to read feature requests on this forum.

I saw after posting this that you can kinda achieve this with the “action text” component and a proper icon. But there’s no formatting built in. It’s just skinny text.

Thanks for the link, will vote.
