Hi, Most client ask for standard tooltip in perspective. I try to create tooltip with mouse event and a simple popup (without any title bar) but the end result is not good for three reasons : 1 - I can’t setup some delay after mouse over object to show tooltip. 2 - Move over mouse over tooltip cause Mouse leave event triggers for object and it closes the popup. 3 - Repeating those setup for each object is really time consuming. (mouse events, popup,…) So I believe it is only can done in core functionality of perspective. Is anyone have better idea to create popup? Or is there any plan to finally add this feature? ---

The Numeric Entry Field has a tooltip built-in. I hope its implemented in a better way than that. Because, Numeric Entry Field tooltip. Doesn’t work well in a pop-up. I hope its implemented in a more succinct and global way way. ---

8.2 could be a year or more away as there is an arbitrary number of minor 8.1.x versions before that 🤷‍♂️ ---

Tooltips will almost certainly land before 8.2. Probably in the next ~months. ---

As I understand it, every Perspective component with a `meta` prop can have an individual tooltip. ---

Do we have CSS roles for this new tooltip feature in global CSS file of perspective? ---

There is a very simplistic entry added to the CSS files, but you’re able to control the appearance at runtime via props within the tooltip property object. The tooltip itself has it’s own `style` object to allow for most anything you could want. ---
