Business value
For some time, the Record data type tooltip has shown primary key fields with an asterisk indicator. Not having the order makes it impossible to figure out the exact primary key for tables—for example, when writing Record.GET statements. To provide contextual information, and avoid tedious steps on navigating to table definitions, the primary key members are now marked with a (PKx) in the Record tooltip list, where x is the order of the field in the key.
Feature details
When hovering on records in code, the tooltip now shows the primary key members with a (PKx) decorator after the type information, where x is a number indicating the order of the field in the key. This makes it easier to identify the table fields and order that makes up the primary key.
