Hi,
I agree with Hans and Raj on this.
There has been a related discussion on this subject in the past.
http://markmail.org/message/ed4l4trj3cotnuvv
From this thread, I collected some ideas here
http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBADMIN/New+Features+Roadmap+-+Living+Document#NewFeaturesRoadmap-LivingDocument-Quickeranintuitiveaccesstobasicfunctionnalities(creation,etc.)
I'd suggest to create an umbrella Jira issue and to create a subtask for the "Small
help icon next the form field title" idea
Thanks
Jacques

I would think that:
help: description of the field and the purpose within the system.
tooltip: some other info: "optional/required" or "empty for new number"
Regards,
Hans

hi Raj,
What's the difference between 'help' and 'tooltip'? Help is a more
complicated tooltip.
In order to keep UI consistent, I would like to propose to embed the "help"
(Maybe as "more information") within the tooltip.
