Hi, I have a column which has this name shown in the picture, `# of DMs employed at 6am`. How do I turn off this default column header tooltip and why is it picking it as a markup?

@engineering-tajir - This is definitely a Retool bug but its reading the # as a markdown from your column label.

You have a couple options

  1. Make the column wide enough so that it doesn’t have to truncate it
  2. Retool just made it so column headers can wrap (under appearance extra options there’s “Wrap column header text”)
  3. Change your column header to “number of DMs….” or “Num DMs….”

The tooltip is likely appearing because the # character is being interpreted as markup or a special symbol by the table/grid component you’re using. Try escaping it or renaming the column slightly (for example: No. of DMs employed at 6am) to avoid the automatic parsing.

If your framework has a tooltip option, you can also usually disable it with a setting like showHeaderTooltip: false or similar depending on the library.
