Hello @mwithi !

Here I've just the component with a demo usage. In orther to complete, I'll need to know all places places you want to show help/hint, and help/hint messages.

@SilverD3 , could you review code ?

Hi @SteveGT96, easy answer: I think it should be there for every field, checkbox, combo, etc... It would explode the number of translations and maybe the UI will be burdened, but it could also improve the user experience a lot.

Could you ask advice to the designers too?

We don't need to add "hint" on all form fields as must of them as self-explanatory. Instead, we could identify the ones that aren't explicit and add hint these fields

As @SilverD3 just said above, must of the fields are self-explanatory. You could just give us the list of specific fields that you think they need more attention from the user and also provide related hints to show.

WDYT ?

Well, easy answer also here: if you already know what fields are self-explanatory just leave them alone. It is easier than making now a list of all other fields with related translations... just make a proposal for a whole module (e.g. ward) so we can also see the expected result, because my concern is more about the design...
Is the "help" add as part of the base component? If so, it is automatically added whenever that component is used...
