CMFRT caption prefix and table-level captions
Description
Captions in a CMFRT extension follow the same prefix rule as names: every field caption and every enum value caption carries the CMFRT <ABBR> prefix — for example Caption = 'CMFRT AQ FS Journal Template Name' on a field and Caption = 'CMFRT AQ Pending' on an enum value. Captions and tooltips are defined once, on the table field (or enum value), never overridden on pages. Pages inherit the table-level Caption and ToolTip, so the text is maintained in one place and every page showing the field stays consistent.
Best Practice
Set Caption with the full CMFRT <ABBR> prefix and ToolTip on the table field definition. On pages, declare only ApplicationArea for the field — no Caption, no ToolTip. Give every enum value a prefixed caption matching its prefixed value name.
See sample: cmfrt-caption-prefix.good.al.
Anti Pattern
An unprefixed caption (Caption = 'Pending', Caption = 'FS Journal Template Name'), or a page field that repeats or overrides the table-level Caption/ToolTip. Unprefixed captions are indistinguishable from base-application text for users and translators, and duplicated page-level text drifts from the table definition the first time either copy is edited.
See sample: cmfrt-caption-prefix.bad.al.
