The hint-property is described as by default inside the field… Sometimes the hint needs to be more than just a word. An information icon (i) could hold a hover-function wich would display this more elaborate hint or fill-out-help. for example:

MAC number :_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ hintYour MAC number is visible on the bottom of your modem and should have a format like this xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

So why not make the hint show as a hover when the mouse goes over the field, if the hint is more than a few words?

I would not opt. for that

It's not common practice, and it stays visible when your filling the field.

Like this:

MAC number :_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _Your MAC number is visible on the bottom of your modem and should have a format like this xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

the way it displayed is not important

Yes that looks also okay… but it's a property that maybe needs to be added:

[[form]]
fields:                           #  This is always required at the start
  name-of-the-field:              #  Use a valid YAML name
    label: Label                  #  This is what the user sees
    label-hint: Hint Text         #  This is extra information, helping the user
    type: type-of-field           #  One of the field types, see below
    field-property: value...      #  Depending on the field type
[[/form]]

Quiet Tricky….. I know you can achieve this with the "MailForm" - but not with this - yet…..

I don't want to achieve this

I am well aware that it's an assignment for the system-side of wikidot. If they also feel that this is a "need"
