The Graphical Scheduler does not display validation error tooltips for red Work Orders/Tasks like the Graphical Assignment does

We’ve observed inconsistent behavior between the Graphical Scheduler and Graphical Assignment applications regarding validation error tooltips for Work Orders/Tasks that appear in red (indicating constraint violations or issues).

In Graphical Scheduler, when a Work Order or Task appears in red, it indicates that it does not meet scheduling constraints.

However, when hovering or using Alt/Opt + Left Click, the tooltip panel does not display the reason(s) for the red status — it’s missing the validation error details.

In contrast, Graphical Assignment uses a similar UI pattern but does show the reasons in the tooltip when the WO/Task is red.


Expected Behavior:

The tooltip panel in Graphical Scheduler should display the specific validation errors or constraint violations that cause the bar to be red — similar to Graphical Assignment.
The user should not have to guess or troubleshoot manually — tooltip feedback is critical for quick resolution and planning.

Request: 

Align Graphical Scheduler’s tooltip behavior with Graphical Assignment:
Show the reason(s) behind the red color bar on Alt/Opt + Left Click or hover.
This should include constraint violations, resource issues, and any other scheduling validation feedback.

Note: This was initially requested as a product support case and a DT437361 was raised and got cancelled.
