Is it possible to have a custom content table with tooltip ? Specifically I need the tooltip for the first column of the table. And if so, is there any ceiling of the word count for the tooltip ? I might need to put in up to 500 letters.

Thanks !

Hi @jinfinance,

Just found this, sorry for the delay. Could you elaborate on where you want the tooltip and what it should contain?

Specifically - are you referring to the hover text when moving the mouse over a table column header? Or are you more looking at a tooltip that is specific to a single cell / sample / value?

Phil

No problem, Phil. it’s " specific to a single cell / sample / value"

I don’t think that there is any way to add tooltips to table cells currently, sorry 😕
