Hello,

ticket #26761 was closed as wontfix, however I don't understand the reason.
https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/26761#comment:19

The ticket's author asked to add a help_text-like attribute for read-only 
fields that are specified via functions. The intention was for it to work 
analogously to the help_text attribute of model fields.

For such an attribute, there are two places that it might affect:

  - the list page (where the help_text of a model field is available as a 
tooltip over a "(?)" mark in the column header)

  - the change object page (where the help_text of a model field is available 
as a message below the field's value)

Please see that attached image for an example.

Unfortunately, Mariusz closed the ticket with the argument that 
`short_description` could be used in place of `help_text`. However, to the best 
of my understanding, that is not right: `short_description` changes the *label* 
of the fields (in the screenshot "Lokaler Zeitpunkt" and "Bewertung"), but not 
the text below the values.

May this be reconsidered?

Best regards,
Carsten
