Extension and overriding

Help elements can be extended from parent tables if they are extendable (the Is Extendable attribute is enabled). Also, help elements got from the parent tables can be easily overridden.

To verify that, perform a simple experiment:

1. Create a help tooltip with any text for a State field on the Task table form record as described below.
2. The Task table is parent for other table like Incidents, Change Requests, so these tables will display the same help tooltip near the State field.
3. Create a help tooltip with any text for a State field for the Incidents table which is child for the Task table.
4. You'll find that newly created tooltip for the Incident replaced the tooltip extended from the Task table , and the tooltip created on the Task table remains the same.
