What about introducing a button "Dialog help" or "Worklist help"
instead. It references to a help system entry, which explains
everything? - Or even simplier, rename "Help on item" to "Help"
(I would suggest this anyway). If there is no item marked in the list
(at the beginning), it references to that (to be written) help text.
Just an idea ...

I get this even twice now, on each opening of the dialog (line 592).
