Hello Ranganath!

In this knowledge base, you should find all the information related to custom fields:

Let me summarize the information related to your question:

• Custom field descriptions are the Help text that appears below the custom field when it is displayed.
• Enabling HTML in custom field descriptions will allow you to enter HTML tags directly into the description if you so desire.
• Be sure to use complete tag pairs so that the HTML content is displayed properly.

Hope that helps!

Regards
