Summary	0016015: Adding description text next to a field in the report page.
Description	Is there anyway to add a description text next to a field in the report page. For example, next to priority when user select "Normal" add some description for user. Got a static description, but the description will be too long and I want to make it dynamic showing when user select different priority. Thanks.

atrol 2013-06-06 03:05 developer ~0037119	I think 0006267 is a better approach (open popup with description of all values after clicking a link) Do you agree?

mrsus 2013-06-06 06:32 reporter ~0037123	Both would be great feature, since priority is such a sensitive field. it would be great to have a description guiding our reporter. Any suggestion on how to implemented this or 0006267?

atrol 2013-06-06 18:16 developer ~0037128	There is a suggestion in 0006267 IMO this suggestion is not what we should implement in standard product. We need a solution which works also for multi language environments. Maybe introducing new enum strings is the right approach Something like $s_priority_enum_description in addition to existing $s_priority_enum_string. Probably there is more time needed to find a solution which works for the standard product. A quick and dirty solution for a single installation could be implemented by writing a plugin which uses JavaScript to add some hardcoded HTML elements to the bug report page.
