The tooltip doesn't get updated in the list view unless the list is refreshed.

KB Summary by Now Assist

Description

Tooltip doesn't get automatically refreshed when long text is updated for a field in the list view. It requires refreshing the list or the webpage to fetch the newly updated value.  However, the updated value can be seen the moment you hit enter (in the list view) for the updated text field. 

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open any List (Incidents or change requests)
2. Update a column that shows the tooltip (for example short description) from the list edit option
3. Hover over the text to see the tooltip text
 
Notice that the tooltip shows the previous text and not the updated one.
 
Expected behavior: Tooltip should show the updated text.

Workaround

The workaround would be to manually refresh the list or the page.
