Currently when users hover over available fields in a Power BI report, the default behavior is that a tooltip appears and shows the table name and the respective field. We would like the ability to display more user-friendly tooltip descriptions for these fields. We were hopeful that by populating the descriptions for certain fields in the dataset, that Power BI would detect that a description was available and display that instead of the default [Table + Field] - this currently does not appear to be the case. We're hopeful that this could get added as a feature/option, to be able to expose more reporting capabilities to our business users.
