CRM Javascript function GetLabel() gives too much back as result

Hello together

I have a problem with a function in the Xrm.Page-Library:

I want to fill the labels (display name) of all "recommended" fields in a string. Unfortunately, this function gives me not only the display name as result, but also the tooltip of the field.

Example:

Expected Result: "Accountname"

Result: "Accountname Type the company or business name."

I also get the tooltip text and that's wrong. The function GetLabel() should get me the label and not the description of the field.

Can you help me with this issue?

Code:

for (var i in attributes) {
       if (Xrm.Page.getAttribute(attributes[i].getName()).getRequiredLevel() == "recommended") {
           if (alertString == "") {
               alertString = Xrm.Page.getControl(attributes[i].getName()).getLabel();
           }
           else {
               alertString += ", " + Xrm.Page.getControl(attributes[i].getName()).getLabel();
           }
       }
   }

Thanks for your help :)

Kind regards, Dominik

Yes, this annoyed me too. Ended up using the split function to extract the label as follows:

var label = Xrm.Page.getControl(field).getLabel();
var fieldNameArray = label.split(/\n/);
var fieldName = fieldNameArray[0];
