Label Help

Security covered Under active development 2,986 sites

The Label Help module adds a secondary help text field that appears directly below a form field's label. This provides a clear and accessible way to offer additional guidance for form elements, especially those with complex inputs or multiple values. It works alongside Drupal's standard description text, offering flexibility in how help is presented.

The Label Help module allows adding help text between form field labels and their corresponding form inputs. This is particularly useful on tall form inputs where the standard description text may go unnoticed at the bottom like Textareas and Wysiwyg editors (screenshot), Details & Fieldset wrappers (screenshot), and multi-value fields (screenshot) .

Other attempts have been made to reposition the description text in Drupal form fields, but none of these approaches works consistently with all form elements. This module attempts to provide a more comprehensive, flexible and simpler-to-implement solution: a second help field that will appear directly below the form element's label.

The screenshots below illustrate how the "Label help" text works for a Wysiwyg form field so that it appears directly below the field's label.

This module does not alter the positioning of Drupal's standard Description field, so it is actually possible to have two separate pieces of help text for each form field -- one that appears directly below the label, and another that appears below the input form as it does now. (In practice, of course, most form fields will not need both.)

This module has currently been tested and works with all Core form element types, formatters and field widgets including text, Wysiwyg, checkboxes, radio buttons, file/image/media fields as well as multi-value fields (the multi-table widget). It is not guaranteed to work with every element type. If you try it and find a field type in which it does not work as expected, please file an issue!
