Describe the issue

While migrating from v4 to v5, we've found that our content function is not working. We use BS with jQuery.

The v5.3 documentation includes this explanation for popover content option:

"The popover’s text content. If a function is given, it will be called with its this reference set to the element that the popover is attached to."

However, relying on "this" reference doesn't work as it worked earlier. Instead, the function now receives the element in question as function parameter.

I think that the documentation needs an update, possibly the migration guide too.

Thanks for reporting an issue @stuntsman
Could you please check that it's not a duplicate of #38720?

The root cause in both tickets is the change of the implementation - I just thought that the change was intentional and therefore I didn't treat the implementation change as a bug, but as a change that needs an updated documentation.

If the solution was to restore the original behaviour, then there's no need to update documentation and this ticket is invalid.
