Show descriptions in tooltip

In PI CoreSight 2014, when working with a raw Tag or attribute, one could hover over the tag and the description would appear in the tooltip. I loved that functionality. However, in the upgrade, this functionality is lost. Please reinstate it for the next patch or upgrade.

    This is a common complaint of users in my organisation. When functionality such as this gets removed it makes it very difficult to convince users to move away from ProcessBook. It's hard enough searching for PI Tags as it is in PI Vision as you can't see the description beside the tagname. Not having the ability to quickly see all details about a variable on a display is quite annoying.

    I agree with the need for tag descriptions in Coresight. I know AF cures this by having friendly names and descriptions but we are not going to have every single tag mapped out in AF and for those scenarios it would be truly beneficial to have the tag descriptions available in coresight.

    In PI Vision 2019 when hovering over tags/attributes in the left hand search/tree window the description text is presented if there is one. However, the same behavior should be also when hovering over tags/attributes in a trend symbol and other symbols. Often, the description text gives additional valuable information to the user about the measurement point.
