When using a dialog input control of any type (“boolean”, “text”, etc.), whose “label” tag is a text component with “hover_event”, the things don’t show up when hovering cursor on the text.
One way to fix this is to add “tooltip” tag to dialog input controls, just like dialog actions.

Can confirm with the following:
dialog show @p { "type": "minecraft:multi_action", "title": { "text": "Input control hover event example" }, "body": { "type": "minecraft:plain_message", "contents": { "text": "The hover event for this message works perfectly fine", "type": "text", "hover_event": { "action": "show_text", "value": "The text message hover event works just fine" } } }, "inputs": [ { "type": "minecraft:text", "key": "stringkey", "label": { "text": "Text Input", "hover_event": { "action": "show_text", "value": "Hovery text of doom" } }, "initial": "The hover event doesn't work" }, { "type": "minecraft:boolean", "key": "boolinput", "label": { "text": "Boolean", "type": "text", "extra": [ { "text": " and some extra text to the right of it", "type": "text", "click_event": { "action": "run_command", "command": "execute as @p run say quack" }, "hover_event": { "action": "show_text", "value": "This hover text will not show" } } ], "hover_event": { "action": "show_text", "value": "This text shows up as expected" } } } ], "actions": [ { "label": { "text": "A very important button", "hover_event": { "action": "show_text", "value": "This doesn't work of course because the input supports a tooltip" } }, "tooltip": "Tooltips work just fine of course" } ]}I would expect expected that a text component would provide all the functionality it possibly can unless said functionality is expressly overridden (eg. no hover event on a dialog action because you can specify a tooltip) or the release notes specify that such functionality is disallowed on purpose.
Yes, but I already posted this bug report
