Add text or extra information to a Jira create issue form

Question

When creating a Jira Issue, are there any way I can put some static title/text or description for the custom fields? So the administrator can configure the contents of the text.

NB: the text or description is not the small one below the custom fields. Should be the same size as custom fields.

A custom field description is a block of text that appears under a custom field when you're in create or edit mode for an issue. It's simple text, within which you can do some basic formatting, including html links. It's accessible through admin -> custom fields -> -> edit, or admin -> field config -> -> edit

Renjith, I can't find any documentation that describes the functionality/limitations of the custom field description. I'm not a JIRA admin, but would like to send some info to our admin on how to add a link to the description (e.g. reference a list of definitions for a long list of drop-down values).

Yeah, i just found jira tool kit plugin. But i installed and tried, wondering why it doesn't work?

for example, i select a read-only text and configure that. when i create an issue, i can't see that. all i can see is the jira supported field, i can't see the one by toolkit plugin.
