Perhaps it makes sense to support tooltip-style popups for additional row-specific detailed information. Either the `title` tag or [http://meyerweb.com/eric/css/edge/popups/demo2.html pure-CSS popups] could be used for this. However, `title` is (or was) cut off at 70 characters in Gecko-based browsers, so pure-CSS popups should be used. `list_display_tooltips` with similar semantics to `list_display` looks like a sensible way of declaring them. Will attach a patch eventually." New feature closed contrib.admin dev Normal needsinfo design_ux Design decision needed 0 0 0 0 0 1
