------------------------------------
Hi,
it seems that this feature does not allow to add an help string on form field
titles that do not come from an Entity but from a Map.
For instance I would like to add the following in WebToolsUiLabels.xml:
<property key="FieldDescription.useSoftReference">
<value xml:lang="en">This property is used to specify whether soft
references should be used for cache entries. Soft references help keep large
caches from taking too much memory by allowing the garbage collector to clear
these entries when more memory is needed. Possible values: true/false.</value>
</property>
so that user can get help on the useSoftReference field when accessing
https://localhost:8443/webtools/control/EditUtilCache
The FormFieldTitle_*** pattern, on the contrary, seems to be able to work on
field titles that are not strictly related to entities field.
Shouldn't we follow a similar approach replacing the FieldDescription.*** with
FormFieldDescription_***.
The field description is supposed to be used by an user that is in front of a
field in a *form* and not strictly in an *entity*.
What do you think about?
