The component information strings are not fields. They are part of the component definition and are not user definable. There are four component information definitions: name, description, key words (tags), and documentation file name. You could create fields with the same names so I can understand how this could be confusing. Toolbar button tooltips should be a verb followed by a short description. In this case "Edit component properties" would work. > > I am having the feeling the development of this table did not come from > a clean plan of having an XYZ tool. Or maybe is just me.
