This module moves the description or help text for form fields from the bottom to the top, placing it directly below the label. This improves visibility, especially for WYSIWYG text areas, and is compatible with modern themes that support displaying descriptions before the field.
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.
