Suggestion for tooltip wording (see T139357)

• "no value" means it can't be (like for children if the person did surely not have children),
• unknown means its there but we don't know the value
• custom means just it has a value)

Design Idea: Since the snag value type is directly concerned with the value, we may combine it with the value input box like:

I'm open for new labels for the three things. But I did not understood your comment above.

Which comment do you refer to? Then I could try to express it better.

T139578#2436612 starts with the promise to give suggestions for alternative wordings, but contains sentences where I can't figure out what is meant as a label and what is meant as a tooltip.

I assume you mean this?

Suggestion for tooltip wording (see T139357)

• "no value" means it can't be (like for children if the person did surely not have children),
• "unknown" means its there but we don't know the value
• "custom" means it has a value

These 3 would be the texts that might appear in a tooltip. They are currently a bit informal (on the other hand, this might not be bad for understanding it)

What is the text that would appear in tooltips? For example, I don't believe it's helpful to repeat the label in the tooltip. Do you mean the italics snippets only? Including the "children" example? The full text is very informal and more like something I would use when explaining the three snak types in person. It's also disputable because we can never be sure if somebody does have children and just never talked about it.

It was meant to have everything after the bullet point.

Good idea, we should get rid of that.

If we find a way to make it easy to understand with a less formal way of explaining, let's take that. But it not, I'd suggest using an informal way if it helps the user.
