Bootstrap Tooltip - Hide on click Issue - Solved!

Today I met with a serious issue with Bootstrap 4 Tooltip, I think this problem is with other bootstrap versions also.

So the tooltip was not going away when the element is clicked on Internet Explorer – Windows OS and Ipad also. I do not have a Mac but I guess if it is occurring on Ipad and iPhone it will behave the same way on Mac Systems too.


So here is the solution to the tooltip problem:
The tooltip trigger is set to hover and the tooltip is forced to close when the element is clicked.

JavaScript / jQuery used

/* Enable Tooltips */
$(function () {
  $('[data-toggle="tooltip"]').tooltip({
      trigger : 'hover'
  });
 
  $('[data-toggle="tooltip"]').on('click', function () {
    $(this).tooltip('hide')
  });
});
