Hi Adam,
I actually never tried it, but judging on the code of the form
framework you could try this:
Either use the method setHelp($name, $help) or setHelps(array $helps)
on the widget schema of the form in your configure() method, or pass
the help text manually in the method renderRow():
public function configure()
{
$this->setWidgets(array(...));
$this->setValidators(array(...));
$this->widgetSchema->setHelps(array(...));
}
or
$form['my_field']->renderRow($attributes=array(), $label=null,
$help='My custom help text');
