We use forms to help with faster/more accurate data entry. It would be great if the help text in the forms automatically filled with the field description. As is, I enter this info twice because some team members like to use the form to fill in the database, and others like to do it from within Airtable.
Use field descriptions for help text in forms

+13This does appear to be kind of an oversight unfortunately. While it doesn't provide an automatic link to your field description, our miniExtensions Form does give you a ton of flexibility when it comes to field descriptions! You can create long paragraphs with lots of formatting options, lists, headings, quotes etc. You can even insert an image if you like! You get to choose if this is displayed above or below the field, or as a tooltip that is shown when the user hovers over the corresponding icon. This should take care of just about every way in which you might want to present a description to your users.
