need Help Text for Title field
complete
William Porter
Now that we've got help text working in grid view for other fields, it would be great to have it for the Record Title field as well.
Not sure why it's NOT there, but I find Help text for primary column/field very useful in Airtable for two reasons: Sometimes it's not obvious to my users what the title field represents. And sometimes I myself want to be able to write some help text to remind ME what it represents.
Not a pants-on-fire urgent need but thought I'd throw it into the wishing well.

Title Field

Title Field should have "help" just like the other fields. From a development point of view I use help to help remind me how fields are being used. Actually it would be great if there were two types of help fields. One for the user and one for the developer to insert development notes.

Great to hear your perspective, Gary Ford! I have a few more questions for you:
- Can you provide examples of the type of information you would find useful in the 'help' field for the Title?
- What specific information would you like to see in the developer's 'help' field?
- Are there any specific fields where you find the 'help' feature particularly useful or necessary?

Just ran across this today too. Why is there no help text option on this primary field?
