How to display field descrption instead of help icon

Question

Hi there,

I have some fields with description, but this description does not display in the Issue above the field but instead it's render like a "i" icon and the description will display only by clicking on the icon.

Is there a way to display the description below the field without needing to click on the icon?

Thank you

Dave is correct, though description will be visible under the field on the Create Issue Screen, on agent view you will need to hover over it.

There was an extended discussion on the same topic here: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/show-description-under-a-custom-field-in-edit-or-workflow/qaq-p/1951081

KR,

Hi, @Jan Ambroz. As far as I can discover, that UI element is not customizable. Note however, you do not have to click on the 'i' — you need only to hover over it.

Sorry 🫤
