ArcGIS Pro Attributes Pane column tool-tip disable

In the attributes pane when you hover over a column name a tool-tip of the field definition is displayed. This is not helpful to editors as it covers up the values. It would be nice if this feature could be toggled off.

No response from esri yet? I am still seeing this behavior in Pro 2.9.2. It is very annoying.

Turn off Map Tips on Attribute Editing Window - ArcGIS Pro

NikkiRosemeyer — Fri, 22 Jul 2022 20:00:48 GMT

When using a docked attribute window to edit attributes on features in ArcGIS Pro, a map tip-like window appears if you leave your mouse hovered over a field name, obscuring the attributes you're trying to enter. It would be great if this option was able to be turned off in the application settings.

I agree this is very annoying when trying to edit attributes. It would be very nice if you could turn that feature off.

I agree also that this is very annoying, it is always covering up items that I am trying to read. It also does it in the symbol gallery and attribute tables. I do not find it useful and it gets in the way all the time. If someone knows how to turn this off please let us know. Thank you

This is still an issue in ArcGIS Pro v 3.3.1. It was one of the very first complaints my guys had when we started training on Pro coming from the ArcMap environment. Would be nice if this could get taken care of in an upcoming version.

Setting to hide field properties in the Attributes window

-_- — Wed, 05 Feb 2025 02:26:41 GMT

"Tip:
Hover the mouse over the field name to see the data type, default geodatabase value, and other field properties."

I don't need this.
It interferes with entering attributes, so I wish there was a setting to hide it.

As an editor, I agree with this suggestion 100%.

I would agree that the pop-up is very annoying and interferes with editing work flow. Please make this optional. Thank you.

I agree.

Yes, please allow folks to turn this tool tip off. It is not helpful.

I find it easier to edit in QGIS simply because of these unnecessary and unhelpful tooltips.
