Hi WCarterMVUSD,

Thank you for choosing Microsoft Community. I hope these steps help resolve the issue!

If you need more specific guidance, feel free to ask. If this fixes the issue, please mark as resolved to help others with find it.

The core issue is that modern buttons in Power Apps currently don’t support native tooltip properties, unlike classic controls. To work around this, developers often simulate tooltips using a hidden label that becomes visible on hover.
