Adding Field Hints and Descriptions

Hints and descriptions help guide users on what information to enter and how to enter it. They’re a great way to improve data quality and reduce confusion.

• A Hint appears inside the field until the user starts typing.

• A Description appears above the field and provides a short explanation or instruction.

Hints will only display on certain edit types, and will not show if the field has a default value.
