Support helper/info text in fields

[monospaced]

I have some use cases where it could be benefical to add some additonal information / help text to some fields, in order to guide the content author.

Not necessarily to this design (could even be a tooltip/title, although preference would be for always visible text):

yes, a field tooltip is a good addition.

Hello guys, I have the same use case. What would work best for me is:

• make the text react to changes in the field status

• allow showing/hiding the text

Based on these requirements, I think the best solution would be to have a customizable render function in the field — something like renderDescription or renderHelpText — that gets called with the field state, so users can render whatever they want.

I’d be happy to work on this if someone could point me in the right direction.

An alternative UX where the tooltip is hidden unless the user mouses over the "i" or "?" icon.
