The "Description" / "Help text" on a form field can sometimes be lost when it's displayed at the bottom of the element, particularly on a WYSIWYG text area. See these posts:

This module just moves the "Description" / "Help text" on form elements to the top, under the label.

Installation

Install and enable Top Description as you would any other contributed module. See:

https://www.drupal.org/docs/extending-drupal/installing-modules

Once enabled, it should move the "Description" / "Help text" to the top on all fields except for:

Radios and checkboxes (it looks strange at the top on those).
Timestamp fields due to a core issue (although there is a patch there).

This will only work for modern (D8+) themes that support a setting like $variables['description_display'] = 'before'. Claro, Olivero, and many other themes support this.

If this module does not work, it is most-likely because the theme being used does not support that setting. You might consider contacting the theme maintainer.
